How does archiving work in Gmail?

Archiving emails and files from Gmail and Google Drive is made more secure and flexible by using an external solution like Vaultastic.

By configuring journaling in Google Workspace, a copy of every email—both inbound and outbound—is automatically backed up in real time to Vaultastic. Additionally, files from Google Drive can be periodically synced to Vaultastic for secure storage. This approach provides added redundancy and ensures that your important data is safely archived in a separate infrastructure, giving you greater control, security, and accessibility.
