Google Workspace

In plain language

Google's subscription bundle of Gmail, Drive, Docs and Meet for business.

The metaphor

Like renting a furnished office from a different landlord: same idea as any other suite, with their own keys and rules.

Going deeper

How it works

  • Includes Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet and Calendar.
  • Priced per user per month.
  • The admin console controls security and sharing.
  • Google runs the service, and you manage the users and data.

How WILDCARD handles it

Cloud covers workspace administration for Google Workspace as well as Microsoft 365. Unified Backups covers Google data for selected users.

In practice
  • A non-profit runs email on Google Workspace.
  • A studio shares a Drive folder with a client.
  • A shop turns on 2-step verification for all users.

A question owners ask

Is Google Workspace the same as free Gmail? The business version adds admin control, a custom domain and support.
