Summary
Google Drive storage is available to all Bethel community members. Google Drive is great as files can easily be shared between community members. It can be great for inter-departmental use as well. Google Drive is available on and off campus as it is a web based storage option. VPN is not needed to access Google Drive, unlike BSP-NAS. Google Team Drives are available as well. Team Drives are great because they do not require departmental constraints like BSP-NAS. Team Drives are a great solution for inter-departmental committees. If you are interested in a Google Team Drive, please email the IT Help Desk.
