"The system automatically pauses file synchronization in case of suspicious activity and offers a simple recovery option. The technology has been trained on millions of real-world ransomware samples. Upon detection, users receive both a desktop notification and an email. They can then easily restore multiple files to a previous, healthy state via the Drive web interface. This requires just a few mouse clicks, without complex re-imaging or expensive external tools."
"The AI system has been trained on millions of real ransomware samples. It recognizes the core signature of ransomware attacks: attempts to encrypt or corrupt files en masse. As soon as Drive detects unusual activity, synchronization with the cloud is automatically paused. The detection engine adapts to new ransomware by continuously analyzing file changes to identify emerging threats. In addition, the system integrates new threat information from VirusTotal."
Google Drive for desktop uses AI trained on millions of real-world ransomware samples to detect mass encryption or corruption and automatically pause synchronization when unusual file activity occurs. Users receive desktop and email notifications and can restore multiple files to a previous healthy state via the Drive web interface with only a few clicks, avoiding complex re-imaging or costly external tools. The detection engine continuously analyzes file changes, incorporates VirusTotal threat data to adapt to new ransomware, and provides administrators with notifications, audit log details, and optional control over detection and recovery. The feature is enabled by default and supports Windows and macOS.
