GoTahoma

Below is a list of the most frequently used GoTahoma/G Suite tools.

What about Chrome?

Chrome is Google's browser and typically GoTahoma tools perform better when using Chrome. 

Chrome allows users to sign in, thus allowing them to save bookmarks and preferences across devices. 

At home, sometimes one family member is signed into Chrome while a different family member is signed into Drive or Gmail, etc. This can cause some confusion. We recommend that each user of Chrome sign in an only access their Drive, etc. after ensuring they are signed in--not someone else.  This short video shows how to make sure you are signed into Chrome.

Google Drive: drive.google.com
