How to Access Your Google Workspace Applications
The best part about Google Workspace is that no software or downloads are required. You can access your Google admin dashboard at admin.google.com by clicking on the navigation icon in the top right corner.
You can also download the Google apps for mobile, or open any of the apps in your web browser or use the .new domain trick to open a new Google app with a single click.
Set Up Google Drive for Desktop
One of the first things you are going to want to do is install Google Drive for desktop, previously known as Drive File Stream. With Google Drive for Desktop, you can stream your Google Drive files directly from the cloud to your Mac or PC, instead of having to access all of your files and applications through your web browser. This allows your team to access files quicker, and because Drive files are stored in the cloud, you’ll always have the latest version.
