    Google is an American multinational technology company which specialises in Internet-related
                      products and services that include online advertising technologies, a search engine, cloud computing,
                      software and hardware. Google began as a research project in January 1996 by Larry Page and
                      Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California.
                      Today, Google.com is the most visited website worldwide and has become much more than just a
                      search engine.

                                GOOGLE WORKSPACE

                      Google has developed several web-based applications that are collectively known as Google
                      Workspace. It was formerly known as Google Apps and later G Suite, which is a collection of tools
                      that help with  cloud computing, productivity and collaboration software and apps marketed by
                      Google. These tools are designed to make working and sharing easier online.

                                HOW ARE GOOGLE APPS HELPFUL?

                      Google apps offer several advantages:

                          No extra cost for hardware and software
                          No need to upgrade hardware and software
                                                                                Google tools for education
                          Secure and private Users’ collaboration

                                COMMONLY USED GOOGLE APPS

                      Google apps are based on cloud computing. In cloud computing, data is stored and accessed

                      over the  Internet  rather  than  from the  hard drive  of  a  computer.  It  is  the  easiest  and  most
                      cost-effective method of using web-based applications and storing data online. To access the
                      Google services, we must have a Gmail account.

                      GMAIL

                      Google offers Gmail, a free email service that allows users to create, send, receive, forward, print
                      and delete emails. Gmail enables users to store their emails safely in the cloud. It also allows them
                      to search for specific emails, prioritise mail and send and receive emails faster.

                      GOOGLE DRIVE
                      Google Drive is an online storage tool provided by Google. We can save our files to the Drive and

                      access them anywhere, anytime.
                      We can upgrade the storage capacity by paying for a subscription plan suiting our requirements.
                      We can upload documents, photos, videos and organise them into folders and sub folders. We
                      can access our stored data from any smartphone, tablet or computer.
