Google has moved ransomware detection and file restoration for Google Drive into general availability. The update, powered by an improved AI model that Google says detects 14× more infections, pauses Drive sync on local ransomware behavior to prevent cloud overwrite, sends desktop/email/Admin console alerts to users and admins, and provides a bulk file restoration interface to revert files to pre-infection versions; availability and alerts depend on Drive for desktop version and Google Workspace licensing tiers.
