Google announced that the AI-powered Google Drive ransomware detection feature has reached general availability and is now enabled by default for all paying users.
Announced
in September 2025, a beta version of this feature began rolling out to Google Workspace customers worldwide in early October.
Google Drive will immediately
pause file syncing when it detects a ransomware attack, notifying users and IT admins of the breach and drastically minimizing the impact of such incidents.
While this will not prevent the files on the compromised computer from being encrypted, documents stored in Google Drive will be protected and can be quickly restored once the malware infection is resolved.
