What is Gmail for Business?
Gmail for business, also known as G Suite, is the paid version of Gmail. Instead of having the usual email address like azmita86@gmail.com, your email address will include your domain name (azmita@azmita.com).
Having an email address that matches your company name and the company's business website shows potential customers that you are a legitimate and trustworthy business. Apart from having your domain name in your email, the main difference is the admin panel where you will be able to manage all your employees, track reports, and migrate data.
Benefits of Gmail for Business
Gmail for business will not only allow you to have an email address with your domain name, there are also several features included that are useful for businesses.
Here are some of the benefits that you can take :
• Email Account Ownership.
You have complete control over all your employee email. Therefore, if someone leaves your company, you can turn off their access so they can no longer access their contacts, e-mails, personal information, etc.
• File Ownership
You'll also control all files created in G Suite, such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. You can see it even after an employee leaves the company.
• Document Sharing
It's easy to share files within the company. The document creator can allow different users access and choose the type of editing power they have.
• Group Email Address
You can create email addresses such as info @ company at no extra cost. You will be able to choose which users have access to this group.
• More File Storage
The paid version has 2x more storage capacity than the free version, with 30GB per user.
• Extra Security With 2-Step Verification
If you want to implement extra security measures, you can ask your employees to implement 2-step verification. This will require them to send a code to their phone when signing in from an unknown device.
• Support
With Gmail for business you have access to 24/7 telephone, email and chat support. With free Gmail, you only have access to self-supporting documents.
All of these benefits are included in the cost of $ 5 per month. However, if the benefits mentioned above are not important to you, then you can save money by setting up a free business email address through your web host provider.
