Add a Google Login Button to Your WordPress Site

By Dan

Why should you add a Google Login button to your WordPress site? It’s simple.

It’s more efficient. Instead of trying to remember yet another password, Google’s one-click login allows access without having to reset accounts. (It takes far less admin work as well.)
It’s more secure. Particularly, if you opt for Google’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution, even if a hacker does get through the first wall — he or she will also have to track down a second piece of data, such as the user’s fingerprint or voice, to break in.
It improves the onboarding of new users. In the past, it took a while for a new WordPress account to be set up, leading to a greater potential for churn. With Google login, user profiles are automatically populated, leading to immediate engagement.

Read on to learn how to improve your site with Google login.

Team Drives now supported by Drive Embedder Enterprise

By Dan

Google recently rolled out ‘Team Drives’ to their G Suite business customers. One big problem for enterprises using Drive is that there is always one ultimate owner of any files shared within Drive. So popular files can be shared by employees, but if the owner happens to leave the company, or decides to reorganize their own ‘My Drive’, the files can be lost to everyone else.

Team Drives aim to overcome this by providing storage space completely outside of anyone’s ‘My Drive’, truly belonging to the organization rather than any individual.

Google Apps is now G Suite!

By Dan

Google has announced a new name for the Google Apps product – it’s now known as G Suite!

The change was made on 29 September 2016, and you can find out more from Google here.
