Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is a powerful suite of applications that combines email, cloud storage, productivity software, calendars, and more. Google Workspace is available for free to all Google account holders, and a more feature-rich Google Workspace experience is available via paid subscriptions for businesses, schools, organizations, and individuals.

Google Workspace is Google’s office suite of intelligent office and productivity apps. Google Workspace includes all of Google’s familiar apps, like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and more. These apps still exist as standalone tools, but there’s more integration when you use them within the Google Workspace framework.

Google Workspace combines Google’s productivity apps with chat, providing deeper integration across all facets to foster communication and collaboration within groups, whether you’re running a business or planning a family reunion.

Gmail is the hub of Google Workspace, with easily accessible tabs and windows for accessing other apps like Calendar, Sheets, and Docs, and Google Chat is the main source of communication. For example, multiple users in a Google Chat Room (also called Space) can discuss the same spreadsheet in public view.
