Google Workspace: Setup Automatic Backup to Drive

We recommend setting up automatic backup to Google Drive in the Google Workspace Admin console to ensure that your user's notes are backed up to their Drive account without them having to do anything. Additionally, users will be prompted to restore their latest backup from Drive during a fresh install. This provides a seamless backup and restore experience for the user: no sign-in, permission prompts, or setup!
