Overview
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is the professional tier of Google's productivity tools: custom-domain Gmail, shared Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and Calendar under one admin console. The free Google accounts give you the tools; Workspace adds business email, admin controls, expanded storage, and SLAs. Widely considered the default choice for small businesses and remote teams.
