Google has expanded its end-to-end encryption (E2EE) feature for Gmail to support encrypted emails to any email service. This update allows Gmail enterprise users to send encrypted emails to recipients using any email platform. The new feature leverages client-side encryption (CSE) to ensure that data is encrypted on the client before being sent to Google's cloud storage. Recipients receive a link to view and reply to the encrypted message using a guest Google Workspace account. The rollout began in April 2025 as a beta test and is expected to reach general availability over the next two weeks.
