Accessing G-Suite for Education

The University of Exeter has an institutional licence of G-Suite for Education which you are free to use as much as you like. The licence gives everyone access to unlimited storage in Google Drive, access to collaborative tools like Google Docs & Sheets as well as Google Sites, and Google Plus.

To access your account use the following links,

Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/a/exeter.ac.uk

Google Sites - https://sites.google.com/a/exeter.ac.uk


Share Settings

Google's Apps for Education let you create and share and collaborate across the web. However, make sure that you set the share settings correctly. On the BMBS programme, If you're using Sites for your PBL wikis, turn off the share settings (the default is Sharing with anyone at the University of Exeter), add each member individually and the site will appear in their Sites home page.

Team Drives

Team Drives is a shared space where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device.

Unlike files in My Drive, files in a Team Drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done.

Create a Team Drive

  1. Open Google Drive.
  2. On the left, click Team Drives.
  3. At top, click New
  4. Enter a name and click Create.

Note: If you can’t create a new Team Drive, Team Drives might not be enabled. Contact your G Suite administrator.
