Summary
This article describes the merits of using Google and how to make a request for accounts at Plymouth.
Google Drive accounts are not automatically provisioned for PSU accounts and must be requested by faculty members for students in specific classes.
ET&S recommends using Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint for file storage needs, as USNH accounts for current students, faculty, and staff are automatically provisioned with a full M365 Office license including OneDrive, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. For more information about M365 and OneDrive, please refer to OneDrive: Resources.

Google Drive Information
With Google Drive, you can create word documents, spreadsheets and even presentations that are saved automatically on Google's remote servers, and can be shared and edited by multiple people. It's even available as a mobile application for accessing and editing your files on the go.
Requesting a Google Account at Plymouth State
If you are a faculty member and would like to request Google account for your class, please submit a Request Form with ATTN: Google Workspace Admins included. You will also need to provide a list of students. The required fields you should provide within your request are First Name, Last Name, username with appended @plymouth.edu.
