History of G Suite
In the past G Suite has had many different names. Originally, it was the Google Apps For Your Domain (aka GAFYD) in 2005. In 2006, it became Google Apps everywhere including Gmail and Docs which we now know as G Suite Basic. From this point to 2007, there was a free version which was called Free Edition and the premium version for work domain called Company-Specific Domains for Businesses and Organizations. Beginning in 2010 there were two versions of G Suite; a basic version on an invitation basis, but from September 16 2011 it became reimbursable by VAT even without an invitation.
Both versions of G Suite began being called “G Suite” in September 17, 2013 and this was also the first time they were reported as one based on the new account management features. There have been additional features such as Jamboard and G Suite enterprise level support since then; with Google mentioning that it is compatible with SaaS.{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzkxI_0BCp8 |title=G Suite at 10,000 Employees (Google I/O ’17)

One Drive – Sync and Share Files. One Drive syncs files automatically. And it is incredibly fast, too! It allows for 2gb of storage for free users, but you can access a hard drive of unlimited storage for $10/month with Microsoft Office 365.
What are the drawbacks?
New features are continuously added to G Suite. One of these features is the shift away from a Google Apps model to a G Suite model. Users must pay for licenses, installation, and updates in order to coordinate billing. In addition, with this change it is impossible to convert an existing company document into the new format. Push notifications can’t provide up-to-date information and at times search function could be unreliable by design. A user who uses multiple services may need to log into each service separately, or the user might not realize that a single login will display multiple data sources. Although Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive operate together in a unified user interface, they can be difficult to use together.
Overall Which is Better?
In comparison to Microsoft Office 365, G Suite appears to be more efficient at dealing with rapid expansion and other office issues. It’s good for large businesses with a number of employees as
