About Google Workspace
Google Workspace is a commercial cloud productivity suite from Google for businesses and organizations. It brings together business email, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, calendar, video meetings and file storage, all running in the browser and on mobile devices, with administrator controls over users and data.
Typical components include Gmail for email, Docs, Sheets and Slides for real-time collaborative editing, Calendar for scheduling, Meet for video calls and Drive for storage. It is a hosted service and is not self-hosted, sold on a subscription basis with plans listed on Google's site, and is a common alternative to other office suites for teams that prefer working in a browser.
