But if you want to implement data encryption of Google Drive, You must find application at https://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/home%20/.
Other(Network):
Your dedicated network goes to internet will be one of most important part to collaborate your work among your member or your customer. So, You must keep maintaining the stability of network by backing the configuration up of router/firewall before you configured and updating the firmware.
If you use wireless LAN in your office, you should use WPA2-PSK-AES with unique SSID, unique key, passcode these are not related to your personal information and company information. Also, You should not use default setting of Wi-Fi device. and, You should document about the necessary settings and contact point of support center to get work smoothly when there is an incident such failure of network. These should be kept securely. If you are not going to manage them by yourself, You should get support from local vendor. This is just security essential matter.
Recovery plan:
- Setup your Smartphone for your dedicated Network and do excise
synchronizing the data between Google Drive in case mis-synchronization operation happen.
Out of scope:
- Setup synchronizing the data between Google Drive at Google and shared drive on such OS X server is not necessary because these data will be kept on your local drive therefore it will be synchronized after the issue is fixed. But if you want to synchronize the data between Google Drive at Google and OS X server, you just make one more account for the server like you create your google account on your mac. but, It might cost from operational view point.

– Juza – 2014-03-01T04:54:30.453I really thought I provided most needed information. Since I was talking about Google Docs I thought it would be clear, that we are talking documents, spreadsheets and presentations here.
And as stated above: no, Google Docs is not the option as we would like to integrate the documents into our server environment. – Tim – 2014-03-03T12:36:21.517
