Make Sure Your Google Workspace Data Is Safe

Gmail data is now spread across two accounts: your primary Gmail account and an Outlook email account. Despite the convenience, your data may still be at risk of being hacked. Your Gmail (as well as other accounts integrated with Outlook client) are at risk even if you have MFA enabled because hackers can still access your email messages.

When you use Spanning, you can rest assured that your Gmail, Drive (including Team Drives), Calendars, Contacts, and Sites will all be protected from data loss.
