You can also open an existing file by right clicking on it and selecting the associated app from the "Open With." option.Īnd you can always find installed apps by clicking on the Google Workspace icon in the top right-corner of your screen and scrolling down. If an app creates a special type of file format - such as a flow chart file - you can use the New button in Google Drive to create a new file of that type. Add-ons for Docs, Sheets, Forms and Slides can be opened through the Add-ons menu. Once an app is installed, your users can open it easily and quickly.
And whenever you install a new app, you can notify users that it’s available. You can also install apps for everyone in your entire domain or an entire user group, so they all automatically have access to them, with no need for users to install those apps themselves.
You can turn them on and off for the whole domain, make them available for just particular groups of users, or whitelist only those apps you want users to be able to install. You can control which apps users can install for themselves using the Google Admin console. Users can quickly search for relevant apps and install them with just a few clicks.
The roots of cloud computing - in the form of Software as a Service (SaaS) - were all about the efficiencies of providing access to a set of standardised business applications like Google Workspace or Salesforce.
