Happy Friday! We’re rounding out the end of the week with a few Google Apps updates, summarizing a few new changes with both Gmail (for both consumers and Google Apps customers) and Google Drive.

Gmail gets a security revamp: HTTPS-only and 99.978% availability
We all want to know our email solution of choice (and the information we send through it) is protected – Google recently announced that Gmail will always use a HTTPS connection, every time you check or send messages. Although HTTPS has been the default for Gmail since 2010, the HTTPS-only change means that no one can intercept or listen in on your messages as they travel between you and Google’s servers, regardless of the device you’re on, or whether you’re using public WiFi. In addition, every single message you receive or send is encrypted moving internally. And with 99.978% availability, Gmail is even more readily accessible when you need it.
