Google Workspace

Varování:

The faculty has already terminated support for this service.

The final termination of operation is estimated to be no later than December 31, 2025 (i.e. 4 years after the warning about the termination of support was issued). However, the exact date will depend on the implementation of security processes by the VIC. We will, therefore, specify it as soon as we know. After this date, logging in to Google Workspace and using services such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, and others will no longer be possible.

The termination of support is necessary due to incompatibility with the new CTU security processes.

As part of the initial steps of the migration from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, redundant aliases docs.fit.cvut.cz for the faculty Google Drive and calendar.fit.cvut.cz for the faculty Google Calendar were shut down.

Currently, the equivalent Microsoft 365 service is provided throughout the university. For more information, see the Transition to MS 365 section. Google Workspace (formerly Google Apps and later G Suite) or Google Workspace for Education is a service that has historically been and still is provided to people at FIT who have a CTU account.

Transition to MS 365

The contractual terms and conditions for operating Google Workspace do not ensure the fulfilment of obligations arising from the GDPR[1] or other legislative measures. Due to this fact, it is not recommended to use this service in any way in connection with teaching, operation, administration, or other activities that include working with personal or non-public data of the CTU organization.

Within CTU, the Microsoft 365 service is provided, the launch of which resulted in the simultaneous termination of Google Workspace support by the ICT department. However, equivalent services within the MS 365 platform are available to users.

Brief list (service in Google Workspace → service in MS 365)[2]:

  • Google Drive
    • → Microsoft OneDrive (own cloud storage, 1 TB capacity)
    • → Microsoft SharePoint (will be used mainly within the new FIT Intranet)
  • Google Meet, Google Chat → Microsoft Teams
  • Google Docs → Microsoft Word
  • Google Sheets → Microsoft Excel
  • Google Slides → Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Google Calendar → Microsoft Calendar
  • Google Forms → Microsoft Forms
  • …​

Microsoft 365 offers a wide range of services and integrations, such as through process automation (PowerAutomate) and other tools.
