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.
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.
@@TheTWSChannel Unfortunately that only works if you have 1 user and 1 device. Oh well, unfortunately its the way subscription models work now. Kind of like the old way of cable tv. Pay for the service, but also pay for channels you do not want to watch, lol.
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
Thanks this was really helpful and your presentation skills are on point although I believe the audio mixing could improve. Also just wanted to say that In a future video if possible please make a video breaking down the Mobile Device Management (MDM) Capabilities offered by both platforms, Google Android Enterprise Management vs Microsoft Intune and possibly compare them with alternative platforms such as VMWARE Airwatch.
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.
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!
@@TheTWSChannel Also, alt gr work using bluetooth/physical keyboard in Word on Android but not in Google Docs, either Web or Android App... So I can't hit right alt + a to get ą... My polish language special letters...
in the indian microsoft page, it it advertised 125/- per month per user for business basic but upon billing it shows 6 dollars a month per user What is going on here ?
Just like my situation. I want to do work (using photoshop, revit n autocad software) on my pc at home n i want to open those file at my office without download it n reupload it. So like i save my photoshop file at home, so i dont need to download it again at my office. Which drive that can make that? One drive or google?
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 .
Definitely Scott! They are two entirely different applications IMO. But, it is the closest possible alternative if someone was to choose to stick with workspace and wanted at least a few of the features that SharePoint does provide ( like team sites - pages, lists etc.)
I just switched to Microsoft 365 so I can not speak about that...But I've had a Horrible experience with Google especially with their Billing Department and their Service...
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!
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.
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!

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.

But which one maintains the quality of ur files, ie videos
Browser based independent of OS, mobile device accessible, free, real time collaboration, version history ... Clear choice, google workspace.

Google Sites is no where close to Sharepoint, honestly.

@@TheTWSChannel Maybe. I just don't see the adoption, honestly.
You can do basic website with Google Sites with your custom domain, but you can't do this with SharePoint. So... different uses, different needs...
For IT admins I think Google Workspace is far easier to manage.
do you have any tips for creating a professional email address for people that have complex names?
Change your name lol
Use firstnameinitials.lastname?

In my opinion, MS is better
How you compare this tools without not a single screenshot or video? It was tedious (as you said)
