Google Workspace

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is Google's cloud-native productivity and collaboration platform, bundling Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Calendar, Chat, and more into a unified suite for businesses and organizations. Used by over 10 million businesses and 3 billion people across paid and free tiers, Google Workspace was built from the ground up for the browser — making real-time multi-user collaboration a core feature rather than an afterthought. Google Workspace pioneered features now standard everywhere: multiple people editing a document simultaneously, comments and suggestions, version history, and instant sharing via link. Google Meet handles video conferencing, Google Chat handles messaging, and Drive provides the file system. Google Gemini, Google's AI, is integrated across Workspace apps for drafting emails, summarizing documents, and generating content. Business Starter is $6/user/month (30GB pooled storage), Business Standard is $12/user/month (2TB pooled), and Business Plus is $18/user/month. Google Workspace is the dominant choice for startups, education, and organizations that prioritize browser-based work and easy external collaboration.
