A summary of announcements from the last week:
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog over the last week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.

Leverage the power of Gemini models to apply data classification labels in Google Drive - beta applications now open
Earlier this year, we announced a series of changes to AI classification for Google Drive, including a revamped user interface, an on-demand model training process, and support for multiple custom-trained models. Today, we’re excited to share the next step in the product’s evolution: Gemini-based models for data classification, now available in closed beta.  | Learn more about using Gemini with data classification labels. 

New AI-powered audio overviews for PDFs in Google Drive
We’re introducing AI-powered audio overviews for PDFs in Google Drive. This new Gemini for Google Workspace feature allows your users to instantly convert long, text-heavy PDFs—such as industry reports, contracts, or lengthy meeting transcripts—into a conversational, podcast-style audio summary. | Learn more about AI audio overviews in Drive. 

Available in open beta: Migrate files from Dropbox to Google Drive
Beginning today, the new Data Migration Service can be used to migrate files and folders from Dropbox to Google Drive. This allows organizations to transition easily from Dropbox to Google Workspace, by copying over files, folders and associated permissions securely. | Learn more about the Dropbox migration beta. 

Option for longer meeting notes with “take notes for me” in Google Meet
Meeting participants can now configure the length of their meeting notes when using the "take notes for me" feature in Google Meet. By selecting the "Longer" option from the "Notes Length" menu, you can generate notes that are roughly twice as long as the standard document to help capture all the important details. | Learn more about expanded options for taking notes. 

Analyze large-scale .csv files in Google Sheets with a new direct-to-BigQuery import
We're making it easier than ever to analyze massive datasets by more seamlessly connecting Google Sheets and BigQuery. Now, users will see a new option to import .csv files containing datasets of any size directly to BigQuery while opening large .csv files. | Learn more about the improved integration with BigQuery. 

Desk phone support and on-demand call recording now available in the Google Voice Starter plan
We’re expanding the capabilities of our Google Voice Starter plan by adding two highly requested features already available in Voice Standard and Voice Premier plans today: Desk phone and analog telephone adapter (ATA) support, and On-demand call recording. | Learn more about the new Google Voice features. 

Help me create in Google Forms now available in seven additional languages

What’s changing

Earlier this year, we announced Help me create in Google Forms. Now, it is also available to users in Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, and German. You can use Help me create to enter a prompt that describes the form you want to create or a prompt that references supporting Docs, Sheets, Slides, or PDFs. Gemini will then generate a draft form, incorporating details from any files you reference, that can be used instantly or further customized.

What’s changing

We’re expanding the capabilities of our Google Voice Starter plan by adding two highly requested features already available in Voice Standard and Voice Premier plans today:

  • Desk phone and analog telephone adapter (ATA) support: Organizations using Google Voice Starter can now provision and manage compatible desk phones and adapters. This provides more flexibility, allowing users to make and receive calls on traditional desk hardware if they prefer.
  • On-demand call recording: End users can now easily record important calls for future reference, training, or compliance. An intuitive record button will be available in the Google Voice interface during active calls.
These features make the Google Voice Starter plan a more complete solution for organizations that need core telephony features combined with the flexibility of Google Workspace.

Getting started

  • Admins:
    • Desk phone support: This feature must be enabled by an administrator. 
    • Call recording: This feature will be ON by default for Voice Starter add-on subscriptions. It can be disabled at the organizational unit (OU) or group level. Note there is no admin control for Voice Starter standalone subscriptions (with a personal @gmail.com account).
  • End users:
    • Desk phone support: Once enabled by your admin, you can add a new desk phone in your Google Voice settings.
    • Call recording: If enabled for your account, you will see a “Record” button during your calls.

Rollout pace

  • Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting November 12, 2025

Availability

  • Available for Google Voice Starter, Standard, and Premier

What’s changing

We're making it easier than ever to analyze massive datasets by more seamlessly connecting Google Sheets and BigQuery. Now, users will see a new option to import .csv files containing datasets of any size directly to BigQuery while opening large .csv files from Drive or via the Data > Data Connectors menu flow in Sheets. From there, users can analyze the entire dataset using familiar Sheets features such as charts, pivot tables, and formulas via Connected Sheets. 

Previously, preparing a large dataset for analysis in Connected Sheets was often a multi-step process that could have involved relying on separate data pipelines, processing tools or multiple upload steps, all before the user could return to Sheets to start their analysis. This new connectivity expedites the analysis workflow by allowing users to directly ingest large datasets and begin analysis seamlessly, all within a single interface. This update will help users move from raw data to insights much faster.
