Classification Labels in Google Drive
Classification labels can help to organize, find files in drive. It also can be used with DLP to prevent sharing of restricted or sensitive content outside.
As an administrator, you are able to create labels in Google Drive in order to aid in the organization and management of the files owned by your team. You may consider them as tags which are attached to the files for easier location as well as the application of rules to such files later on. Labels can be super simple, like a "Confidential" tag, or more detailed with things like dates, numbers, dropdown menus, or even people fields (e.g., which team owns the file).
Classification labels help organizations maintain compliance by clearly identifying what type of data is under what classification and manage their data better.
