By having this amount of knowledge about G-suite let’s move forward to know more about the tools Included. Below is a list of tools that are included in G-suite plan characterised in accordance to the work done by them.

2. Communication Tools
Communications tools play a significant role in business. Especially when you are running a business online in which most of the people are working remotely.And G-suite understand these needs and provides you with the best tools by which you can contact every single person in your organization very easily.
The communication tools available in G-suite plan are:
Gmail
Well this is the tool that i can guarantee you might be used to. I think almost everyone uses this tool for sending and receiving mails. And why shouldn’t someone use this. This is really easy to use and efficient too.Now the question arises that when gmail is available free for audience why should you be purchasing premium plan for this.
The simple answer for this is you will get a business email along with that like “Yourname@yourcompany.com” which is not possible in the free version of gmail.
Also, this gives your business a professional feel for your customers.
- Calendar
I know this can be a very basic tool but if you want to be an efficient and punctual businessman then this calendar would definitely help you in planning things and make the best use of your time.
- Hangouts
This is also a very essential tool for someone’s business in which most of the people are working remotely as it is necessary for the leader to stay in touch of the colleagues.
This can be possible through hangouts. By using this you can either chat with your colleagues or Directly make a video conference so that you can make then understand some parts that you want them to know.
Along with these tools some other tools also fall in communication category. Some of which are listed below.

3. Storage Tools
By using the above tools you can be creating a huge amount of data. After which the question arrives that How will you store this data.
So In G-suite you will be getting some tools by using which you will be able to store as much as data you want so that data size don’t bother you.
Google Drive
Google Drive is one of the best tools provided by Google that is loved not only by me but also by millions of people. Google drive is basically a storage solutions provided by Google which provides free cloud storage.
This is like a boon for the people who have less storage in their smartphones. They can easily store their data in clouds in a safe and secure environment and along with the trust of Google. Google Drive basically comes along with two major plans both are listed below.
So let’s know these plans from deep.
- First Plan is the free plan, yes you heard it right. You can use Google drive for free but there are limitations also. The storage allocated to a specific person is too low to make it suitable for a business to use.
In addition to this the speed of transfer is also very low.
- The Second plan is the paid one which is obviously provided along with the G-suite plan. Here the amount of storage allocated to a specific account is more than enough for an organisation to store all of its data.
Also, the storage limit is not fixed in G-suite. It varies from plan to plan. But even in basic plan it is quite more than the free plan. If your organisation or company size is big then you can opt for a higher plan in which you will be getting much more storage.
Also, the benefit of storing data on Drive is that you will be able to access the data from anywhere and also you can share the data with anyone you want. In addition to this the person will also be able to make changes to the file (If you want)that you have shared.
And you know the best part, this all thing can be done with the help of a single link.
4. Controlling
When you are running a business and using these kind of tools then it becomes necessary for you to constantly track the efforts and manage them to make the best out of your efforts.
This can be done if you have the G-suite plan. Tools for special purposes like monitoring and controlling the actions are also included in the all in one G-suite plan.
