A quick look at the G Suite mobile apps

Way, way back in 2006 (an era so far in the distant past that people somehow had to manage back then with no iPhones or Android devices), the wonderful eggheads at Google came up with an idea: What if, they mused amongst themselves, businesses could avoid dealing with the headache-inducing and sanity-destroying complexity of managing high-tech services such as email, messaging, scheduling, and file storage? What if, they continued, Google managed those services and all businesses had to worry about was, well, business? “Wouldn't that be great?” they asked themselves.

The answer to that last question must have been a resounding “Yes!” because in that year Google Apps was born. This collection of online apps for email, messaging, calendars, and, a year or so later, documents and spreadsheets was an instant hit and has been sprouting new apps ever since. Now known to the world as G Suite, Google's business-focused collection of online apps just keeps getting better and more popular. In this chapter, you discover what G Suite is all about, explore what G Suite offers, and have your most pressing G Suite questions answered. Won't that be great?
