Gmail and Drive - a new way to send files

Gmail and Drive - a new way to send files

Have you ever tried to attach a file to an email only to find out it's too large to send? Now with Drive, you can insert files up to 10GB -- 400 times larger than what you can send as a traditional attachment. Also, because you’re sending a file stored in the cloud, all your recipients will have access to the same, most-up-to-date version.

Using Google Groups as a collaborative inbox

You can use a Google Group as a collaborative inbox to distribute and track responsibility for topics among the group's members. These features are especially useful for technical support or customer service teams. For example, you can create a group with the address support@nrms.k12.nc.us, add your support staff as members, and allow people outside your organization to send messages to the group. Your support staff will receive your customers' messages, and they can do any of the following from the group's Topics view:

• Assign responsibility for a topic to a member of the group
• Mark a topic as resolved
• Edit the tags associated with a topic
• Filter topics according to tag, resolution status, or assignee
