Google Suite
GSuite is a collection of cloud computing, productivity and collaboration tools, software and products developed and marketed by Google. Fisher has partnered with Google to offer Google Docs/Drive for faculty, staff, and students. We strongly recommend using Google Drive provided by SJF (not a personal account) instead of other cloud based solutions.
Find additional recorded webinars and workshops on the Google Suite here.

Google Shared Drives (for teams)
Google Shared Drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device. 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.
Request a Team Drive via the OIT Service Desk (oitservicedesk@sjf.edu) or call 585.385.8016.
