                  Google Rebrands G Suite as Google Workspace

   Adam Engst

   Sometimes, you can't keep track of the players without an updated
   scorecard. Earlier this year, Microsoft rolled out a new name for its
   subscription-based apps and services'see '[1]Microsoft Rebrands Office
   365 to 'Microsoft 365',' 29 April 2020. Never one to be left behind in
   the ferocious naming wars, Google has fired back, rebranding its
   subscription-based G Suite collection of Web apps and services as
   [2]Google Workspace. It includes Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drive, Docs,
   Sheets, Slides, Meet, and more.

   There's a little more to it than that. Google says Workspace will bring
   a new, integrated user experience that lets you do things like create
   and collaborate on a document while in a Chat room; preview linked
   files within Docs, Sheets, and Slides; and show contact details when
   you @mention someone in a document. In the future, Google promises
   picture-in-picture Meet videoconferencing in Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
   Anyway, if you've still been thinking of Google's Big Bundle of Bits as
   Google Apps, Google replaced that name with G Suite back in September
   2016, and you can now jump right to calling it Google Workspace.
