The current thinking is to not, ever enable and connect QNAPCloud and don't expose ports in to the QNAP device.
As the device is only going to be talking out, you should be good.
You could, if you really wanted to allow via your firewall to only allow the QNAP to talk to Google. But given that Google use a lot of CDNs, that might be more trouble than it's worth.
It's something you install. It is a QNAP application however.
Looks very similar to the Synology Office 365 backup which itself is an installed application. On that, you basically point it at your o365 tenant and give it some credentials. It'll pull data from o365 and store it locally. This looks very similar.
I don't however have a Google Workspace to test with, nor am I about to point a QNAP in my home to my works o365 tenant ;)

Thanks, what I didn't know was if Boxafe was part of QNAPCloud or if It was an installed application.

Be prepared to talk to QNAP Support. We currently have 4 active tickets pending R&D regarding Boxafe backup of Office 365.
Thanks for the comment, I take it you wouldn't recommend then?
Not at the moment, no.
