A service that provides access to office
productivity tools and sharing, much like
how Microsoft Office includes Word, Excel,
PPT and Outlook.

3. Same
Microsoft One Drive and Google Drive are both cloud-based apps that allow you to:
• Access files anytime, anywhere on any device
• Sync files/pick up where you left off among devices
• Retain files if something happens to your device
• Send large files via link vs. attachment
• Do real-time collaboration (video)

4. Sharing Files in the Cloud
On YouTube

5. Different
• You can share Google Apps share via email, social media or link
• Google Apps saves 30 days worth of versions to view and restore
• Google Apps auto-saves so you can access the most up-to date version from any
device at any time.
• Both suitable for data protected by FERPA. Google Apps is not suitable for data
protected by HIPPA
• Google Apps have
less “power” features
