Google Mail

Google Mail is the preferred email system at Stony Brook University for faculty, staff, and students on West Campus, Southampton, Manhattan, and select departments within the Health Sciences Center.

Members of Stony Brook Medicine, including Stony Brook Hospital and the School of Dental Medicine, will continue to use Microsoft Exchange for email due to HIPPA compliance requirements.

Google Drive

Google Drive provides a single place to store, access, create, edit, sync, and share documents, files, and folders of all types. You can easily access files anywhere - at your desk, from home, or on a mobile device. 

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is the calendar feature offered with Google Apps for Education. It allows users to easily create, share, edit, and delete meeting invitations, calendar events, and tasks. These are easily accessed and synced between computers and mobile devices.

Google Hangouts

Google Hangouts is the successor to Google Chat. It's great for sending a quick chat message, calling phones from your computer, or holding meetings with people spread over campus or the world! It is now one of the core apps covered under the terms of service agreement Stony Brook (SUNY) has with Google.

Google Sites

Google Sites is an online application that makes it easy to host personal websites, especially for people who need quick, up-to-date access, with limited or zero Web development expertise.

Google Contacts

Google Contacts is a way to store and organize contact information about the people you communicate with. Each contact can contain basic information like names, email addresses, and phone numbers, but can also include extended information, like physical addresses, employer, department, or job title. This information can be integrated with all the other Google Apps (Gmail, Drive, Calendar) through the autocomplete function. Users can easily send email, share documents, and schedule appointments without having to look up all of the contact information. Google Contacts can also be used to sync contact information between devices. 

Google Groups

Google Groups makes it easy for groups of people - such as project teams, departments, or classmates - to communicate and collaborate over topics of common interest.
