GoogleApps

What Is the Service?

MSU Google Apps for Education provides a collection of productivity and collaboration tools, including Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Sites, Google Classroom, and Google Contacts. These tools facilitate communication, file sharing, document creation, and team collaboration in an integrated online environment.

Consumer apps such as Gmail, YouTube, etc., are not covered by the Google Apps agreement and therefore have not been enabled. MSU persons who wish to use those services are free to do so by using a consumer (personal) Google account.

Service Offerings Available by Request:

  • Data Storage Support
    Request support related to data storage in Google Drive.

  • Google Scholar Profiles
    Google Scholar Profiles provide a simple way for authors to showcase their academic publications. You can check who is citing your articles, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics.

  • Google Shared Drive
    Google Shared Drive is a collaborative storage solution designed for teams and organizations. Unlike individual Google Drive accounts, Shared Drives allow multiple users to own and manage files collectively, ensuring content remains accessible even if individual members leave.
