Google has fixed this now. You can now go to Security > Basic Settings > Go to advanced settings to enforce 2-step verification.
Then click New User enrollment period and set to 1 day. This will allow a new user one day to set their 2FA before they are locked out.

Immediately after creating a new user, go to that user's Security tab and click on "Generate New Codes" to generate a list of One-Time-Use codes.
Then give the user the first one or two codes from that list along with the URL https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthSettings for SMS authentication (verify this, it might be different for you) so they can ...

Not Google, but similar.
Yandex Translate has image upload using desktop web browsers.
https://translate.yandex.com/ocr
I use this in a Flotato browser which enables me to quickly translate screen grabs without them accumulating on my hard drive (because the screen grab is automatically deleted after I've dragged it onto the Yandex/Flotato window).

I've hunted around the interwebs for just this solution, and HIGHLY recommend using Markdown Here. It is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Safari that lets one toggle back-and-forth between Markdown and HTML. It's original use-case is for in composing e-mail, but it "works great" in Google Sites. Also, it supports TeX math formula, which for ...

Google Apps does not natively support reporting on who has access to what in Google Drive. The report you are looking for is possible through a Google Apps script.
As you probably know, from the Reports section of your Google Apps admin panel, you will be able to tell how many files are externally visible.
If you are on the Google Apps Unlimited or Google ...

Workaround: if you have calendar access, add the group to a calendar meeting, and expand the chevron to see the list. (May depend on Apps administrator granting access.)
EDIT: direct access may also work for you according to the following pattern:

where DOMAIN and GROUPNAME are replaced by the ...

The purely Google approach I use is:
Upload the image to your Google Drive
Right click image and choose Open with > Google Docs
A new document will be created containing the image and extracted text
In Google Docs choose Tools > Translate document... and choose your target language
A second document will be created with the translated text
Done!

I don't have a reason for it, but I think I have a solution.

You can navigate to:
https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?service=wise&continue=https://admin.google.com
And it will let you choose the relevant Google account.
Or you can navigate directly to https://admin.google.com/accountchooser?u=YOUR_ADMIN_EMAIL_ADDRESS

According to this thread on Google Forums, this is a known limitation and they have it on the slate for future implementation. I expect that the more people tell Google they want this, the more likely Google will implement it and sooner.

If the envelope recipient matches the above, do the following

This actually is possible. Basically, you need to add a secondary domain (not an alias) and then execute this Google Directory API request:
PUT
https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/customers/my_customer?fields=customerDomain&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
{"customerDomain": "my_new_domain.com"}`.
You can run this command quite easily, at the time of ...

Short answer: no, your Google Apps admin can NOT see your web search or YouTube history.
I'm a Super-Admin (highest level) for my company under Apps for Business, and I can't find any YouTube or web history activity via my Admin console.
What I can do is see a log of email going in and out, and enable or disable Chrome history syncing for my users (but ...

Unfortunately, Google does not allow you to transfer ownership between domains (and it considers gmail.com its own domain as well). There are ways to create copies (and alternative ways), but to answer the question of accomplishing a true transfer across domains, you can't.
I strongly desire to have Google invalidate this answer (or some clever hacker find ...

Provision API has gone the way of the Dodo and now you have to rewrite your script and add some extra security approvals along the way.
I got the info finally after a whole bunch of searching, after my script failed to day from here:

You can get a free Google account with a custom domain without Google Apps.
In order to do this, you must already be able to receive emails on your domain.
Set up mail forwarding for your existing email address / gmail address.
If you run an own SMTP server, this can usually be done by adding your main email address (e.g. example@gmail.com) to a .forward ...

Google Groups, for whatever reason, will see some messages as spam and place the message in a pending queue. Go into the Settings and under Moderation in the Spam Messages section click the drop menu and select Skip the moderation and post to the group.

Since Jul. 25th 2019 it's actually possible to specify in which account to create the new file, exactly as you stated in your question.
From now on:
docs.new/1 - creates the file in your personal account
docs.new/2 - creates the file in your second account (if you're signed in)
That applies to all .new shortcut URLs, check the explainer video from Google.

The only way I have found to do this is to do the following:
Create a generic document that contains all your styles
Save that document as a template
Get each user in your organisation to open that document from the template library
With the document open they need to click on the styles field, then options, then save as my default styles
I wish there was ...

I figured it out! It's burried in a bunch of sub-menus:
Log into your Google Apps account
Click "Users" in the dashboard
Click a user's name
Click Google Apps Enabled
Click Gmail
Click User Settings
Scroll down and check the "Mail Delegation" checkbox half-way down the screen.
Wasn't that easy?

That you aren't seeing the option to enable the 2-factor authentication in your settings page may indicate that the Administrator for your Google Apps for your domain hasn't enabled the feature to be used by people in your Google for Business instance.
If that is the case, the answer to your question would be:

That probably doesn't answer your problem, but for the record, there is something that looks like symlinks (january 2019), but is not.
In particular you can't change the target without recreating the link, which changes its URL.
You can create such links from the GDrive web interface by selecting a file and pressing Shift-Z. No idea why they made it so ...

Yes.
As Sathya says, you could configure the MX records to give your existing servers priority, or just leave the MX records as they are for your domain. Then email will continue to be delivered to your existing servers.
You will probably also want to disable the Gmail service completely. This is done in the Google Apps Control panel, at https://admin....

You don't have the right to turn it on yourself. You can ask your Google Apps administrator to allow users to turn it on, they can do this at

Or from https://admin.google.com/, go to Basic Settings => Security => Less secure ...
