What’s the best tool to audit file sharing in Google Drive?

GAT+ provides deep file-level visibility across My Drive and Shared Drives. It lets you identify not only files shared externally from your domain, but also externally owned files that have been shared into your domain — a critical blind spot most tools miss. This helps IT, Security, and Compliance teams fully understand data exposure risks and take targeted action at scale.

Can I automate Google Workspace audits?

Yes. GAT+ lets you schedule reports and perform bulk remediation actions across Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and more. GAT Shield adds real-time alerts for browser-level risks. GAT Flow automates onboarding and offboarding for better compliance.

How does GAT+ support compliance in Google Workspace?

GAT+ helps IT and Compliance teams monitor file sharing, email activity, group membership, and external access. It supports data governance with alerts, access controls, and audit logs aligned with security and compliance standards.

Close the Critical Visibility Gap
in Your Domain

GAT+ provides Google Workspace Admins with deep auditing visibility across Drive, Gmail, and Calendar. One of its key capabilities is identifying externally owned files shared into your domain, helping you address a common security blind spot around inbound file exposure. You can audit these shares at scale, apply granular filters, and take immediate remediation actions such as removing permissions or generating alerts.

And because we have known for years that no cloud based package could cover all your security needs, nearly a decade ago we introduced GAT Shield for Chrome (and now for Edge). A mature browser extension brings visibility and security right out to the edge of the cloud, letting you monitor and control user actions in the browser.
