What Are You Looking For?

Google Drive Storage Space
Of course, when you’re in charge of the business, you have a few extra privileges over its data. G Suite allows you to configure security settings and control access through a centralized administration portal, making setup and management easy. There are tools to help you manage certain groups of people, with charts to see how often people use Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and other G Suite apps.
Google Workspace Tips
Regarding security, you can set up access control to provide or deny access to the network. You can also provide application-only access. You can also set up users with two-factor authentication to ensure your G Suite solution remains secure.
Google Workspace Apps
Jamboard is a new Google product that helps teams build collaborative environments. The Jamboard App is under the Google Apps menu inside G Suite.
Once you begin, you can use your stylus or mouse to jot down quick ideas and collaborate with your team. Currently, content can only be added to Jamboard through the mobile app in G Suite, but teams can view and comment on projects on a PC. As a collaboration tool, Jamboard is extremely useful.
Don’t Forget the A.I. Integration
Google isn’t shy about integrating its “Smart Compose” technology into its applications. G Suite is the latest Google product to be outfitted with these features.
How it works is when users compose an email it will provide suggestions to complete the sentence. Since it learns as it goes, it can really cut down on time after a short learning period. To use the suggestions, users need only to tap the tab button.
