Powerful Automation Tools for Google Workspace
Google Drive powers collaboration — but without oversight, it can also create security gaps and inefficiencies. With gPanel, admins gain deep visibility and powerful tools to manage files, folders, and sharing across the entire organization. From securing sensitive data to streamlining ownership transfers, gPanel helps you keep Drive organized, compliant, and productive.
Simplifying Administrative Workflows Through Automation
As organizations grow, manually managing Workspace tasks becomes difficult to scale. Admins end up repeating the same updates across hundreds of accounts instead of focusing on strategic projects. This repetitive work increases the risk of human error and slows down IT response times.
gPanel’s automation features reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and help teams operate more efficiently.
Save Time & Reduce Administrative Errors With Google Workspace Automation

Bulk Operations
Apply updates across multiple users, groups, or resources in just a few clicks. Whether you’re reassigning licenses, updating Drive permissions, or applying new signatures, Bulk Actions eliminate repetitive tasks.

Policies
Standardize and enforce settings across your Workspace environment. From Drive sharing rules to email forwarding restrictions, policies ensure consistency and reduce the risk of misconfigurations.
-
