The Faculty uses the Google Workspace (GW) suite of services. In addition to Gmail, you also have access to a range of online applications directly linked to your faculty account, including Google Docs, Calendar, Sites, and Groups. You can store up to 50 GB of data on Google Drive and share it with others as needed. Since all of these tools operate online, you can access your files from virtually anywhere with an internet connection.
One major advantage is that documents are created and edited directly in your web browser, with all changes saved automatically. This helps prevent the loss of work that can sometimes occur when files are stored only on a local computer. In addition, multiple students can edit the same document simultaneously, making group projects much easier to manage. Instead of emailing different versions back and forth, everyone can simply work in a single shared file.
The Faculty’s Google Workspace also includes an integrated directory of all students and staff, making it easy to find contact information. You can also subscribe to public calendars, such as the academic schedule or sports events organized by the Department of Physical Education, ensuring that important dates are always visible in your calendar. All data, contacts, and calendars can be synchronized with your mobile device, whether you use Android or iPhone.
For the best user experience, we recommend using the Google Chrome web browser. Detailed information about all available services, news, and a wide range of user guides can always be found at ga.natur.cuni.cz.
