About Google Apps
Google Apps offers simple, powerful communication and collaboration tools for educational institutions of any size – all hosted by Google to minimize maintenance and reduce IT costs.
Google Apps is provided to educational institutions at no charge, and is hosted on the same enterprise-class infrastructure used by corporate and government customers.
Access your files anywhere
Google Drive on your Mac, PC or mobile device (or your browser!) gives you a single place for up-to-date versions of your files from anywhere. In addition to any file-type you choose to upload, Google Docs are also stored in Google Drive.
Bring your files to life
Share individual files or whole folders with specific people or your entire team. You can even share with customers, vendors and partners. Develop new ideas with your team and move projects together more efficiently with online discussions on any file.
Quickly find what you’re looking for
Use powerful search capabilities to find what you need quickly. You can search with keywords and filters to locate any file, including images that have text.
Open and view any file
View over 20 file types right in your browser, including videos, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files, even if your device doesn’t run the file’s original software. Save files from Aviary, Animoto, Balsamiq and other web apps directly to Google Drive, and launch those apps by opening these file types from your Drive.
Store everything
Get started with 5GB of included storage for each of your users. Need more? For as little as $4 per month for 20GB, administrators can centrally purchase and manage up to 16TB of additional storage for each user. (Yes, that’s 16,000GB!)
Keep your files in a safe place
Even if your device is lost, stolen or damaged, your files are backed up to Google’s cloud. And with business-grade security and reliability, feel at ease knowing that your data is safe in Google Drive. A sample of the measures we take to protect your data:
- 99.9% uptime SLA, so you can access your files whenever you need them.
- Files are encrypted as they travel between your browser and our servers.
- Available 2-step verification helps prevent unauthorized account access.
- Data is always simultaneously replicated on our servers.
- Advanced data center security measures including 24/7 guards.
