Control the geographical location of your Google Workspace data at rest
Create as many organisational unit- or group-specific regions as you want with no minimum seat requirements. Change data location settings anytime, anywhere – US, Europe or global.
Edit capabilities of all files, even during a data move. As file ownership changes or users switch OUs or groups, your data is moved dynamically according to policy.
Stay up to date on your data move’s progress at no extra cost. Data regions is included with Google Workspace Enterprise plans.
Given that PwC is a global network with operations in 158 countries. I am very happy to see Google investing in data regions for Google Workspace and thrilled by how easy and intuitive it will be to set up and manage multi-region policies for our domain.
