In Google, there are two options for setting up a shared space for your group: a traditional shared mailbox and a mailing list.
A Google Group is a mailing list option allowing you to email everyone in the group using a single email address. Faculty and staff can create their own Google Groups, which will end in "_list" (e.g., "deptstaff_list@stedwards.edu")
A Shared Mailbox is a separate email account in Google with a single owner, who can delegate access to other group members (up to 25).
These accounts can only access Gmail. Google Drive, Google Calendar and other Google Workspace applications are unavailable to shared mailbox accounts.
