Understanding G Suite

You can leverage G Suite to make your operations more efficient. The solutions are ad-free and your data isn’t used to guide advertising on your browser.

What’s Included in G Suite?

G Suite has numerous useful features. Here, we provide a high-level overview to help you understand the benefits of the software, such as:

• Gmail – Gmail gives each email user 30GB of storage and an array of email functions. You can input unlimited Google Group email addresses and customize your address to a business domain – which looks more professional than “@gmail.”
• Docs, Sheets, and Slides – This is Google’s version of word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation software. These tools offer collaborative capabilities, which work well for far-flung teams. Team members can save changes directly, but there’s also a revision history with recoverable files.
• Drive – Google Drive is the company’s cloud storage platform that comes with G Suite. Use it to access your files and other content. The file extensions are compatible with a variety of file formats, so you won’t have to install plugins to view contents. This tool makes collaboration easy. Choose your storage options carefully.
• Calendar – It integrates easily with Gmail and lets your team coordinate meetings and responsibilities. If you need to arrange a team meeting, Google Calendar lets you see their availability.

Other Capabilities

A Business account opens up many other capabilities, such as a dedicated G Suite Admin Panel. This acts as a control room and lets you manage your settings. Here are some of the available options on the Admin Panel:

• Users – Use this to add new account users. Also, manage the attributes users can access, including start date, job titles, location and when they last logged in.
• Groups – You set up mailing lists and groups here. This makes it easy to schedule meetings and send out group communications. It’s much faster than typing individual names.
• Company Profile – This lets you customize your brand within G Suite solution. Add a company logo and other information about your business. You can set up custom URLs for a more professional presentation.
• Admin Roles – Lead admins can add new roles and control permissions for individuals and groups, services and devices.
• Billing – Review and manage charges associated with your account. It also displays your G Suite subscription details.
• Reports – Track the use of your G Suite services and see what your users are doing in G Suite. Review an overview of your apps under Highlights. You can also run reports and audits on users and devices.
