The one thing I don't like with Google Drive is the ability to have permissions for a user on a sub folder, without them having access to other subfolders within that folder. I spoke to support, searched all over the net and that's just how they work. The only solution was to move the folder out, which does not work the way we work.
Volumen UP please. Thanks for the in information. Nice from you.
This is very helpful. You've clearly put a lot of work into it. Thank you.

Another excellent video. For me the Microsoft office apps beat out the google workspace apps while the custom email domain capabilities of google workspace beat out Microsoft. A shame that google does not offer and email only option at a reduced rate, and Microsoft offer a desktop app only plan. Unfortunately in some cases one needs both, pay full price for both but only use half the features from each. Great comparison 👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks again AJ! I guess you could always purchase the one time offline office apps and use Google Workspace for the cloud! If you're okay with losing out on the cloud features on MS that is.

Only one correction I think. DLP is included with Business Premium. We use it all the time in the MSP I work for
Great video bro, thanks for taking the time to research and make a video like this. saved me hours..... If possible please make a video if anythings have changed as of today
Hi. Awesome video. Thanks a lot for putting it together. I have a few questions though. I work at a non profit and we use Google Workspace for Non-profits but we also use Microsoft desktop apps (The office standard license) through a discount/donation program. If we switch to M365 business basic (which is free for non-profits) would we be able to sign into the desktop apps that we already use? Also want to be clear about what you mentioned regarding the outlook desktop app and business basic - so users won't be able to use the outlook desktop app even though we have a separate office standard license for it? The next one was about OneDrive with Business basic. Would we be able to use it on desktop? (Like you use dropbox for eg) Third is regarding signing into windows machines. If we switch to Business Basic would we be able to use our accounts to sign into these machines . If so what is the advantage of doing so for a Business Basic account over say just a regular local non-AD account (I understand that the Business premium subscription gives you a whole host of endpoint management features) Would appreciate any feedback. And I can attest to Google's support team as being excellent. They have been helpful, understanding and knowledgeable everytime I've contacted them.
great video!
Thanks for your help. I was able to make a well-informed decision
Awesome, thanks for the video. I'm a small one man design firm, and I'm looking for an email/file hosting solution. I'm trending toward MS, since I already have the desktop apps purchased outright. Would you recommend any other email services for a small business that have 25GB email size capabilities, email linked to unique business domain, and a simple cloud file storage app? Or, are google workspace, and MS 365 really the only two that provide, email and file storage all in one? The teams desktop app I have is essentially free to use right? Or do I have limits on it. any thoughts would be great!
Very well put together thank you 🙏🏾

Hey Tycho, I think your best bet is to check out Microsoft's offering for non profits: nonprofit.microsoft.com However, to answer your question, you should be able to implement specific users as enterprise while the rest stay basic .

Hey Germán! Could you elaborate on which section you think needed screenshots & videos? I think Meet Vs Teams could have used some, as well as maybe when talking about the UI. But other sections were mostly theoretical to understand the differences when it comes to choosing between the two. I will be uploading an updated version sometime soon, so do let me know, I'll take your suggestion into consideration!
Great video, I'm trying to understand the alias functionality available to workspace, how it works and if there's a similar function for Microsoft 365
@TheTWSChannel
3 жыл бұрын
Hi, yes! You're able to assign aliases in Microsoft 365 as well. An alias is basically a secondary mail address - if jack@xyz.com wants the mail going to the address jack_s@xyz.com to be recieved at jack@xyz.com, then he'd set jack_s@xyz.com as his alias. This way the user will not have to alternate between the two mail addresses and continue the use of his primary. There are many uses for aliases, but this is one example. Hope it helped!

I think regional data storage is important if you deal with clients (like governments at all levels) that require it. AFAIK Office 365 gives you this option with the lowest levels of licensing while Workspaces not so much. Also, I think MS has better regional data centre location. For example, Office 365 has Canadian data centres while Workspaces has none in Canada.
In my opinion, MS is better
For IT admins I think Google Workspace is far easier to manage.

Hi Anita. The reason I have compared Teams with Meet is because the whole video is about comparing Microsoft with Google's paid workplace/collaboration subscriptions, and that section about Meet Vs Teams is the comparison of each platforms paid web conferencing app. Hence: Microsoft Teams Vs Google Meet. Hope that clears things for you.

@@swapnilmasurekar5431 That's mostly because Office is available for 30 years+ and Google Workspace is like 5-6 years. As Google does things differently people need to adopt to new one. While new companies are happy with it, the ones that are used to office are not. Also, there are few features that are genuinely missing from Google as it is still a new service comparatively.
