Google has announced the end of unlimited storage for higher education. See our Strategic Storage Initiative site and How Storage Caps Will Work in Google Drive for details of upcoming changes.
In order to support collaboration with Cornell students and colleagues at other institutions, Google Workspace accounts - which include Google's email, calendar, and collaboration services - are available for faculty and staff. This service was previously called G Suite.
Activating a Google Workspace account is optional.
Please note that Microsoft Outlook 365 remains the official email calendaring system for faculty and staff. To avoid scheduling conflicts, all room and equipment reservations MUST be made using Outlook's Calendar. Cornell does not offer integration between Google Workspace and Office 365, and will not provide support for any third-party solutions.
See Google's Workspace Learning Center for a quick overview of the features.
Google Workspace's features include:
- Gmail - email, built-in instant messaging including voice and video chat, mobile access, spam and virus protection
- Google Calendar - multiple calendars and room/resource scheduling NOT integrated with Cornell rooms and resources
- Google Docs - word processing, spreadsheets, forms, and presentations
- Google Drive - file storage and sharing
