Formerly known as G-Suite, Google Workspace is an enterprise productivity tool that offers collaboration tools for a wide variety of customers. It’s widely used by businesses, educational organizations, and other institutions.
Its Google Drive feature offers file storage and sync services. It features Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, Google Slides, and other online apps for productivity and collaboration. However, even with a focus on remote collaboration, Google Workspace has online-only apps that require Chrome and advanced planning to work offline.
Google Apps, which includes Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, GMail, Calendar, and a few other tools, is a powerful suite of tools available free from Google.
You can pay for Google Apps for Business, and get more storage and features if you desire. And the paid version allows you to use your domain name for your email, while using GMail. A no-brainer for $50 per year if you ask me. (and if you ask me, I can help get you set up).
We use Google Drive for all document and file storage and sharing between the team. It’s just like your drive on your computer, but out in the cloud and more easily sharable. You can share it with your team, or you can share a document with anyone you wish. Simply sending a link to the document or file will allow that person to either view or edit it (depending on how you shared it with them).
Not that much to say about Google Workspace, great value for great products. We use Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Drive, Docs, Sheets. Since we started using Notion we use a lot less of Docs & Sheets. We use Sheets for our business planning (too complex and would be too clunky for Notion) and are looking into testing out Baremetrics, Profitwell or Chartmogul for this going forward.

Email, calendar, spreadsheets and some file storage are all here.
For when you don’t need the full power of Microsoft Office, or easier collaboration 🙂
