One of the biggest reasons that I use team drives for our teams is that you can keep anybody but admins from being able to delete any files inside of shared drives. They can create and edit but cannot delete or remove. Great video 👌

[@itGenius_]

It's excellent!!!

[@moneypit30]

Using shared drive for several retail remodeling projects. Pictures, Design ideas, bids, blueprints, ledgers, to do lists, and even a quick access viewer almost like a mini website is all accessible to the team in one place. It is fantastic.

[@itGenius_]

Thanks for sharing!

[@deborahjones557]

Value add while watching! I used CloudSearch to locate information I couldn't find ANYWHERE. What a time saver. Also love Keep & Shopping! Must get optimizing. Thank you.

[@itGenius_]

Glad it helped!

[@tracysaunders6710]

Thanks for the shopping list tool! Used that today when I went shopping.

[@itGenius_]

You are so welcome!

[@DC-vj9op]

Interesting presentation. I am surprised you use Meets rather than Zoom, considering you can't share multiple windows in Meets.

[@SydonieBazz]

The shopping will be used right away lol

[@SendisHere]

what happen when you stop paying the gsuite business price? they will delete all the shared drives? or it will keep the data safe but not add more in the shared drive?

[@itGenius_]

You will lose access to the feature if you stop subscribing to that plan

[@SendisHere]

@@itGenius_ thanks for the answer, but my data will be safe right? so in the future i can start paying again and access to my old data in the GSuite

[@itGenius_]

No I don’t think that’s how it works

[@Akshay_Radia]

Great resource! Yeah shared drives is the primary reason my team is upgrading from Starter to Standard (storage of course will be useful)

[@itGenius_]

You're welcome! Thanks for sharing :)

[@abigaillewis-bowen299]

Catching up on these really useful videos. One thing re Shared Drives is getting your brain around permissions, additive permissions with shared drive, and the situations that can cause havoc if the implementation is not correct. Would love to see a video on that if you have time.

[@itGenius_]

We have one here: www.itgenius.com/how-to-get-your-google-drive-permissions-right/ :)

[@JPDouma]

I have finally creating a naming convention for the files on gdrive. Now I am looking for a little form that helps me and others to apply the right convention when naming a file. I will probably buildi it with appsScrip, but was wondering if you ever came across this issue? Good show!

[@itGenius_]

Hmmm cant think of anything like this personally but would love you to share your solution with me: www.itgenius.tv

[@monicabowens4313]

Would love to see this split into chapters or reference points

[@termiteguysbrisbane7260]

Great and inspiring Pete. I'm curious, for the first time I noticed that your videos have been cut to removes "ahhs, umms" and any time between you speaking. It's super effective and I'm just curious if you managed to automate this and which program you used to do it? Sorry if this question has been asked before. Thanks for the vid. I took your advice from the video after working out my cost per hour and watched this in 2x speed to save time :-)

[@itGenius_]

Our editing team do this :)

[@robynflynnlarge4672]

I love the way you think...outsourcing the things that don’t bring you happiness. How did you get around using Google Home with a GSuite/GoogleBusiness account? They only connect to a free Google account.

[@itGenius_]

They connect to Business with limited features

[@eggshi]

This video is so good. You deserve more subs!! Nice quality video, great stuff!

[@itGenius_]

Thank you so much!

[@deaconlyric]

@@itGenius_ what app or program did you use to make this video? Did you just record and edit tit or use a program like Zoom or Canva to share screen and do picture in picture?

[@sweetacresfarm8501]

Awesome information on Google! We're interested in all you had to share! Very nice video set up as well! Thank you!

[@itGenius_]

Thank you! Glad you like the information we share :)

[@mariangelpolo8110]

We use SHARES DRIVE, but I need to know if we can sync our shared drive?

[@itGenius_]

Sure can! Using Filestream

[@llewmarinicolay4206]

very interesting, the ones I am most interested in is the Jamboard, Google Keep and Google Optimise. Really have been enjoying your videos as I am building my knowledge on G-Suite.

[@itGenius_]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dennyden5952]

You are very clear with your communication. I look forward to more videos.

[@itGenius_]

Thank you!

[@rickzzy3049]

Can gsuit can restrict excel file in resharing with editor mode?

[@itGenius_]

Yes. To do this, open the Excel file that you want to restrict. Click File>Share>On the Share with others dialog box, click the Advanced button>Allow anyone with the link to edit>Save.

[@phyllisledbetter2769]

I am just subscribing to G-Suite which is now Google Workspace. I'm so confused. I pay 40 a month for something that I don't even understand. Your class is good, but you don't start at the beginning and you talk very fast. However, this was an excellent presentation to become familiar with the google environment, what is offered etc. I didn't even have a clue about these functions except hey google. Thanks.

Your videos are awesome!

[@itGenius_]

Glad you like them!

[@analysis360bookkeepingacco7]

Great. Maybe a short vid of ius solo operators micro biz focus

[@itGenius_]

There is more in the works!

[@ioderov]

Thank you for such an informative video 👍🏻

[@itGenius_]

My pleasure 😊

[@padraigr9305]

Thank you for your videos - your enthusiasm is clear. I like the relative simplicity of the GSuite ecosystem. I still retain though an underlying discomfort with Google ultimately being an advertising company / privacy which holds me back. Do you have any thoughts on this ?

[@itGenius_]

No particular concern - as their cloud apps are a very clear 2nd channel they have been building standalone from their advertising business

[@joshsutton1746]

Shared Drives is limited and very frustrating. You can’t go into Shared Drives to add attachments to emails or attach forms into certain programs.

[@itGenius_]

With filestream it should work fine, and the forms updates are happening :)

[@doeyehof]

Very Clear and helpful Thank you man!

[@itGenius_]

Glad it helped!

[@analysis360bookkeepingacco7]

Hi I went to that google cloud.. and on my business account - Google wanted an annual fee of 300.00 per entity. Not what was expected.. So we will wait until it is a feature of Workspace Standard

[@itGenius_]

What feature were you after specifically?

[@markrohde1608]

Loved your vlog, for ma Jamboard, Keep and Cloudsearch we for me the takeaways from this

[@itGenius_]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@sigridperez1121]

Is there a Google Suite equivalent to a Trello or Wrike? it's own project management tool perhaps?

[@itGenius_]

not yet but some basics are there in Chat right now

[@sigridperez1121]

@@itGenius_ Thanks! Hope they come up with one soon so it's one whole package we can invest in!

[@cathycovone8416]

Thank you for all the info!

My pleasure!

What is the most common or simplest free CRM that works with workspace?

[@adampalmer8790]

From 1 to 10 users as well as very very basic

[@Kaeselover]

Hey, thanks for the information. I've got a question. Do you know how to make a KZbin account as an admin of a Google Business account? So I have acces as an admin to a Google Business account and want to make a KZbin channel for this account. But I don't have acces to the password of this account. Is there a way of making a KZbin account as an admin?

how can i push data studio to a tv on my wall please

[@itGenius_]

chromecast or chromebit :)

[@KaiBuskirk]

@@itGenius_ thank you for your reply... i had just discovered your push and was an instant fan! i had asked the question as i'm interested to serve data to a tv (static) over a work station so the operator at that station has a viewboard of happenings without having to refer to there device .... like a dashboard for that station.... i had tried to network multiple chromecast together but it got very crazy very fast... eg. stream/cast a specific chrome browser tab to a specific tv (on the same network) mostly ive reverted to having a seperate computer & monitor kit networking them all together... Not with Google Tables it might have gotten a bit easier! your the best keep doing you! im a huge fan! LUV YOU BRO! (yup i just said that)...crush it!

[@victorandersson]

Good video. But please. Censor out "Hey Google" in you videos. Thanks:)
