FAQ
What is the difference between Google Workspace and Google's free apps?
Can I purchase individual Google Workspace apps?
No. When you sign up for Google Workspace, you’ll gain access to a set of integrated apps that work together seamlessly. For instance, you can receive a message in Gmail and instantly convert it into a Calendar event. When you make a comment in Docs, Sheets, or Slides, collaborators automatically receive email alerts. With a single click, you can join a video meeting in Meet from your inbox or calendar. Using these tools together improves productivity and gives your business the most value. However, you’re welcome to purchase the suite and only use the services of your choice.
Can I replace my current software with Google Workspace?
We’ve found that many of our customers are able to eliminate their existing productivity suites and rely exclusively on Google Workspace to create different kinds of files, including text documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You can work on these files with other people in real time and store them in the cloud with Google Drive. Google Workspace’s apps work across devices. Unlike traditional desktop applications, there is no software to install. Google Workspace is also compatible with files created in other programs, such as Microsoft Office.
Can a user have more than one email address?
Yes. A user can have multiple email addresses by creating email aliases such as support@yourcompany. You can add up to 30 email aliases for each user.
What file types can I upload to Drive?
You can upload any type of file to Drive and convert certain types of files to a web-based Google document format: Docs, Sheets or Slides.
