Coming to your Smart Phone Soon .. iOS Sync from Google

Increasing security and productivity for iOS devices

Posted by Clayton Jones, Product Manager, Google for Work 

Marvel and DC Comics, Star Wars and Star Trek, Emacs and VI—we all have our favorites. And then there’s iOS and Android, each with dedicated fans. Regardless of which you prefer, there’s no reason your device of choice should get in the way of your work.

 Alongside our Android device management solution, we’re introducing iOS Sync for Google Apps giving you and your company the increased security needed to protect your files, emails, documents and more on your favorite iOS phone or tablet. iOS Sync is integrated right into the Gmail and Google Drive apps for iOS, so you don’t have to take any action to download an additional app. And iOS Sync will support iOS 7, 8 and, of course, the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

 As part of iOS Sync, you’ll get the following additional security measures:

• Manage Google Apps: Set a policy that prompts employees to enroll their device when they log into Google Apps such as Google Drive and Gmail. 
• Configure WiFi networks: Distribute WiFi passwords and certificates to employees so they can easily connect to trusted networks. 
• Support for existing policies: Manage password requirements, data encryption and camera policies, as well as actions like remotely wiping a device, activation approvals and blocking devices. 

iOS Sync will be available for Google Apps for Work, Google Apps for Education and Google Apps for Government beginning next week. Administrators should go to the Admin console to enable these new functions.

Work from anywhere, safely on your favorite device while keeping your work information secure with Google’s mobile management tools.
