Your 1st Week - Get Settled

1. Move Things Over that Were Not Migrated Automatically (i.e. tasks, notes, archives, etc.)

2. Drive and Shared Drive

If you have been using a personal Google Account, you might notice a new set of folders in your Drive called Shared Drives. This is a feature for business users of Google. If you have collaborated on a project with people at the end have owned all the files but need to transfer them to a new person. The process can be difficult transferring over the files. Shared Drives solves this problem by having the Shared Drive Folder owning documents rather than a person. This allows documents to remain available to everyone in a team. Since the Shared Drive owns the files, you can easily add or remove people from the shared drive.

Consider which teams might want a Shared drive and what naming conventions you might want.

3. Hangouts Meet

With a consumer Gmail account, you would use hangouts for a video meeting. With our Google, you will use Meet. Meet is the default Video Conferencing app and it is integrated into the rest of your Gsuite. For example when you create a new calendar appointment, a Meet Video Call is created as well by default. Meet is not only for Video conferencing but you can use it for conference calls. There are 47 different countries that can call into a Google Meet and more are being added all the time. You can still use hangouts for messaging, voice calls and video calls but whenever you setup a video conference in an appointment that video call will be a Meet Hangout video call.

4. Chrome Webstore

One great feature of Chrome is the ability to customize it. From changing the way your browser looks to adding functionality to blocking ads. Google allows you to install extentions through the Chrome Web Store as a Chrome extension (chrome://extensions). Please only install extentions from the Chrome Web Store and do NOT run extentions from any other source.
