Google Suites
G Suite is Google's cloud-based productivity and collaboration suite. It is similar to most other office suites but resides in the cloud. At this point there is unlimited storage provided for you as someone affiliated with the University of Washington.
It should be noted that Drive is FERPA compliant but not HIPAA compliant, so you may not want to use Drive if you are handling sensitive health information.
