Getting More From Google Apps
Interactive Google App Learning

Google regularly gives us new features and functions in the suite of Google Apps available to state employees. Now, keeping up with everything new just got a lot easier. They’ve created an interactive training that walks you through the basic and advanced features within each app right inside Chrome.

No More Storage Limits in Google
All the Space You Need!

You no longer need to worry about running out of storage space in your state Google account. Every state Google account (all 30,000+) now has unlimited storage space. You now have room to upload files of any type (e.g., PDF, video, pictures, MSO files, etc.). 

Google Operations Director Brandon Williams says, “You can literally copy and transfer an entire shared drive from the LAN (Local Area Network) to Google and not hit a limit.” With the exponential growth we’ve seen in Google Drive, unlimited storage provides the opportunity to reduce traditional systems and overhead.
