Google Workspace: The 50¢ Tour

IN THIS CHAPTER

Getting to know Google Workspace

Peering inside the Google Workspace box

Answering your urgent Google Workspace questions

Introducing online collaboration

Getting a glimpse of Google Workspace mobile apps

Way, way back in 2006 (an era so far in the past that people somehow had to manage without iPhones or Android devices), the wonderful eggheads at Google came up with an idea: What if, they mused amongst themselves, businesses could avoid dealing with the headache-inducing and sanity-destroying complexity of managing high-tech services such as email, messaging, scheduling, and file storage? What if, they continued, Google managed those services and all businesses had to worry about was, well, business? Wouldn't that be great? they asked themselves.

The answer to that last question must have been a resounding Yes! because in that year Google Apps was born. This collection of online apps for email, messaging, calendars, and, a year or so later, documents and spreadsheets was an instant hit and has been sprouting new apps ever since. Formerly named G Suite but now known to the world as Google Workspace, Google's business-focused collection of online apps just keeps getting better and more popular. In this chapter, you discover what Google Workspace is all about, explore what Google Workspace offers, and have your most pressing Google Workspace questions answered. Won't that be great?
What Is Google Workspace?

In the world of business jargon, a silo is a person or department that can't or won't share information with other people or departments in the company. Not all that long ago, all employees were silos in a way. Why? Because they beavered away at their computers using installed software such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, with all of their documents stored safely on their hard drives. Sure, every now and then they shared a document on the network or by email, but for the most part they worked in not-so-splendid isolation from their peers.

But as management gurus and overpaid consultants have been telling anyone who'll listen for at least a couple of decades now, silos are bad. On an individual level, silos make everyone less efficient and less productive; on a departmental level, silos create duplication of effort and endless turf wars; on a company level, silos inhibit growth and innovation.

Yes, silos are nasty things, but how do you get rid of them? An alarmingly large number of management reports and business books have been written to answer that question. It's a complex and difficult topic, but here are three solutions that are almost certainly common to all those reports and books:
Make it easy for individuals to access their software and documents no matter where they are or what type of device they're using.
Make it easy for people on the same team or in the same department to collaborate with each other.
Make it easy for people on different teams or in different departments to share information with each other.

And that, at long last, is where Google Workspace comes in. Google Workspace is a set of applications that's designed to tear down silos. How? By implementing the preceding list of solutions in the following ways:
Google Workspace apps aren't installed on your computer. Instead, they live online - in the cloud, as the nerds say - so you can access them from any location that has internet access, using any type of device - desktop PC, notebook PC, tablet, smartphone, you name it - that you have handy.
Google Workspace apps are built with collaboration in mind. For example, two or more people can work on the same document at the same time. No, I'm not just making that up - it's a real feature. Google Workspace also enables you to easily email, meet, and chat with members of your team or department, so everyone stays in the loop.
Google Workspace documents aren't stored on your computer. Instead, all Google Workspace data and documents reside online - yep, in the cloud - so it's a snap to share them with anyone in your company.

Silos, schmi-los!
What You Get with Google Workspace

My dictionary defines a suite as a connected series of rooms to be used together. You're probably thinking hotel suite, but that definition is actually a succinct and useful definition of Google Workspace, which is a kind of software suite (remember that it used to be called G Suite). You can, in fact, define Google Workspace as a connected series of Google apps to be used together. That is, the Google Workspace apps are all awesome when used by themselves, but when they're connected, they make your work life easier, more efficient, and more productive.

Okay, so what are these apps that I've been going on and on about? Table 1-1 provides the list, with pointers to where you can find more info later in this book.

I assume you have a Google Workspace account through your organization. If that's not true and you're the person in your business who takes care of such things, you can set up a Google Workspace account by surfing to https://workspace.google.com/ and clicking Get Started.

Using Apps Online - Really? Here Are the FAQs

When folks who switch to Google Workspace are used to working with programs installed on their PCs, the idea of using apps that somehow work online is the stuff of science fiction. It doesn't help that the Google Workspace apps look just like their PC-installed counterparts. (Check out Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 to see what I mean). How is any of this possible, and does it actually work? Those are great questions, and I'll try to answer them by walking you through a long list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) from people just like you who are new to Google Workspace:...
