Henceforth, Google’s line of cloud computing, collaboration and productivity products and tools for businesses and consumer – G Suite will be known as Google Workspace. The search giant made the changes to bring all its products and tools dedicated to messaging, meetings, docs, and tasks together under one umbrella. It launched G Suite in 2016 but started as Google Apps for Your Domain in 2006.
With Google Workspace, users can now access all collaboration and productivity tools from Calendar, Docs, Gmail, Meet, and Sheets. These changes will be available initially to business customers and will arrive in coming months to the consumers, education and nonprofit customers. Education customers will continue to access the products and tools via G Suite for Education while G Suite for Nonprofits will be available for eligible organisations through the Google for Nonprofits program. Over the coming weeks, the logos for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat, and more will also change to Google’s four-color icons.
Workspace will continue to be Google’s effort to rival Microsoft’s Fluid framework in Office 365 and other similar products for virtual productivity. Pricing starts at under US$ 6 (AU$ 8.40) per-user per-month for the “Business Starter” plan; US$ 12 (AU$ 16.80) per-user per-month for the “Business Standard” plan and US$ 18 (AU$ 25.20) per-user per-month for the “Business Plus” plan.
