What Exactly Is Gmail and How Does It Work?

Gmail is a free email service provided by Google. Documents, Drive, and YouTube are all integrated with Google services.

A component of Google Workspace, the company’s collection of productivity applications, Gmail is also available on its own. Google Workspace is available to everyone who has a free Google account, with Gmail serving as the central hub of communication and collaboration. A number of additional business-level services are available with Google Workspace memberships.

Gmail also provides an HTML-based version known as Gmail Basic, as well as a mobile version known as Gmail.

If you’ve never had an email account before, Gmail is a great place to begin your email journey. Because it’s free, it’s dependable, and it comes with 15 GB of storage space for your messages, however that 15 GB also includes all of your Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, Google Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard files, so you’ll have plenty of room. Nonetheless, 15 GB is a reasonable amount of free storage, and you can always upgrade to a larger amount of storage from Google at a later time.

Because your email is stored in the cloud, you may access it from any device that has an internet connection, including mobile devices.
