New: Save Secure Share Protected Files Directly to Google Drive and Microsoft

Protected files can now go straight where your work happens. With Virtru Secure Share's latest update, recipients can save shared files directly to Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, right from the Secure Share interface.

This new integration feature brings your secure collaboration workflow full circle, connecting protected sharing with the cloud platforms your teams use every day.

What’s New? Key Features & Benefits

Direct Cloud Saves

When someone shares a protected file with you, you'll see new upload options alongside the standard "Download All" button.

Choose "Upload to Google Drive" or "Upload to OneDrive/SharePoint" to send files straight to your cloud storage—keeping your workflow smooth and your desktop clutter-free.

Flexible Administrative Controls

IT administrators can now configure exactly how users save shared files:

• Enable Google Drive, Microsoft cloud storage, local downloads—or any combination
• Disable local downloads entirely to keep sensitive files within approved cloud environments
• Set organization-wide policies that match your security requirements

Security That Follows Your Files

Your security controls travel with your data, no matter where it's saved:

• Files with Persistent File Protection automatically convert to HTML files with secure view links
• Expiration dates, watermarks, and access controls remain enforced across all storage destinations
• Download restrictions for watermarked files stay intact, regardless of the sharing method

Why This Matters

This update gives teams even more flexibility in how they work with protected files. Secure Share empowers you to request and collect sensitive data directly into the apps where you’re already working: whether that’s Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. The request workflow lets you gather information from outside of your org and save it directly to your existing cloud storage applications, while maintaining the same security controls you trust.

For organizations with strict data governance requirements, the ability to restrict local downloads while enabling cloud storage saving offers a powerful new way to prevent data sprawl while maintaining productivity.

Completing the Secure Collaboration Circle: Inbound and Outbound Workflows Now Available

This new inbound capability rounds out our existing outbound Secure Share integration workflow, where you can already share files directly from  Microsoft OneDrive, Sharepoint and Teams & Google Drive. With our existing outbound workflow, you can already:

• Select and share files directly from Google Drive and MicrosoftOneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams through Secure Share
• Upload files to Secure Share from your cloud storage without manual downloads and re-uploads
• Apply Virtru's encryption and access controls to files shared externally from your preferred platforms

Now with direct cloud saves for recipients, we've further closed the secure collaboration loop.

Share protected files out from your cloud storage, and receive protected files back into the same platforms, all while maintaining consistent security controls throughout the entire workflow.
