Hi @lizlynch In my Google Workspace Business Standard I can set the Data Region to EU.

This new feature in AppSheet is available only for Enterprise Plus accounts.

Why is there a difference?

@Fabian_Weller Apologies that this is a little confusing. Business Standard is your Google Workspace version and Enterprise Plus is the AppSheet version. I’ll clarify that in the note to minimize confusion. Thanks for posting this question!

Thanks @lizlynch . But why do I need a AppSheet Enterprise Plus to set up the data regions in my AppSheet App, when in Google Workspace I can do this with the Business Standard? I mean for EU this is a very important setting. But for a little company it is not possible to buy an AppSheet Enterprise Plus licence. It’s just too expensive.

@Fabian_Weller - Sorry for my delay in responding. As you point out, there are two levels of data residency features, Fundamental and Enterprise, as documented here. AppSheet falls into the Enterprise data regions category. I hope this helps.

@lizlynch - how do I move my apps to EU data residency region. I’m not getting anywhere with Appsheet support. No one is helping me. Have been trying to sort this out for 2 months. I am paying for Enterprise Plus for this very reason but no one is helping me sort out the transition!

@bbhla Hello! I’m very sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing. We recommend that you reach out to the original AppSheet Sales representative so that they can enable the EU region on your AppSheet Enterprise Plus account. Please let me know if you continue to have issues getting this enabled. Thank you!
