Google Workspace and Gmail differences

While Google Workspace Email is very similar to Gmail in most ways, there are a few key differences between the two services:

• Google Workspace email addresses are issued by an IT admin, not created by individual users. They use the format ‘username@your_domain.com’ rather than ‘ username@gmail.com .’
• The Gmail password reset flow doesn’t apply to Google Workspace accounts. If you forget your Google Workspace password, please contact your IT admin for assistance.
• When setting up POP or IMAP access to your Google Workspace mail account, make sure to enter your full email address whenever you’re asked for your username or address.
• However, make sure to use the recommended servers, which include the domain ‘gmail.com.’

If you have a question about your Google Workspace account and wish to have paid support fromtechprofuse.com, you can contact our Live Chat Support Experts. Google Workspace solution for businesses is a packaged product of Google’s best messaging and collaboration applications, among which include Gmail™, Google Talk, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sites, and Google Video.

You may have had experience using many of these applications with your user@gmail.com account, and while these applications are similar, we have enhanced them in Google Workspace Premier Edition with these critical differences:

1. Google Workspace is for your business

When you sign up for Google Workspace for your business, you sign up with your own company domain name. So rather than having a user@gmail.com email address, you would create or maintain a company email address such as user@company.com. There is an IT administrative control panel that is built into Google Workspace for your business where an IT administrator can manage and control the user accounts across your company domain.

2. Enhanced business-oriented features

Though Google product engineers are continually enhancing Google applications for their free consumers, they are also adding separate, enhanced features to the Google Workspace applications that are more oriented for business purposes. Here are just a few things you can do in Google Workspace for your business that are not available in free consumer applications:

• Increased Access Controls: Puts your company in control of how your information is shared and communicated outside of your domain.
• Gmail: Saves all your corporate information with improved mailing list capabilities, and increased mail thresholds
• Google Sites: Understanding that a company intranet and shared documentation is so critical to success, optimized to provide you with the right storage quotas to address your business needs
• Google Calendar: Enables conference room and resource sharing, allowing you to schedule office conference rooms or other shared resources in your office.
• Google Video: Share internal videos with your company quickly without the complex overhead of many other systems
