Overviews of Google Workspace and SFTP

Google Workspace (G Suite) is a suite of cloud computing and collaboration tools that includes Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet, designed to enhance productivity and teamwork in organizations. It enables seamless communication, real-time document collaboration, and secure storage, accessible from any device with internet connectivity.

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure method for transferring files over a network, commonly used for managing and sharing data securely between computers. It encrypts data during transmission, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. The obvious difference between SFTP and FTP is that SFTP encrypts data during transmission over SSH connections, while FTP transfers data in plaintext which lacks built-in encryption.
