## Purpose

Google offers free services for nominal use for both personal and business purpose. For businesses who wants to have their own office workspace solution (like Microsoft O365), google offers GSuite. But it

Often businesses needs to share Google services (ex: GDrive) to outside organization. At the sametime not to allow personal accounts (with gmail domain) from accessing the business documents/resources.

Also it is good not to use personal accounts and avoid mixing personal and business documents, it is recommended getting separate google account.Even better, create a google account so your business partners can simply use your business mail address to share their google storage contents and collaborate.

## Setup global access policy

Configure global setting for Google Shared Drive based on the need.

- Completely disable sharing outside domain
- Allow only whitelisted domains
- Allow only with Google accountss
- Allow public if they know the link

## Protecting GSuite/GDrive by whitelisting domains
