Syracuse University recently established an organizational account in the Google Suite that will be managed by the Information Technology and Services (ITS) department. This organizational account provides SU’s students, faculty and staff with a wide array of Google cloud-based services and provides new tools for collaboration, teaching and learning. For more information about how it is deployed and the different applications you can use through this account, go to g.syr.edu.
This tutorial will introduce you to your Google Drive through the Syracuse University Google Account.
Accessing Your Account
