Even though some companies are hesitant to adopt G Suite, such cloud-based tools are on the rise in the workplace. Google estimates that 4 million businesses now use its productivity suite. If your company is one, we’ve got some ideas on how you and your colleagues can get the most out of the apps.

The key to making G Suite work for your office is to simplify and automate workflow for employees, says Akshay Mahajan, vice president of product management for EMS Software.

“[Users] won’t accept G Suite if it’s not comfortable or convenient for them,” he says. His advice: “Conquer the areas that affect the user most frequently, simplifying day-to-day tasks and eliminating frustrations.”

With that in mind, here are some tips for wrangling G Suite and getting some work done.

Getting around a phone with gestures is getting an awful lot of attention right now — including right here in the Android empire.

Apple popularized the idea of gesture-based navigation with its notchtacular iPhone X, and now, OnePlus is bringing a similar concept to owners of its OnePlus 5T device.

As part of a new beta version of its Oreo update, OnePlus is giving users the option to ditch the traditional on-screen navigation keys and instead use a series of iPhone-reminiscent swipes to move around the operating system — a swipe up from the bottom-center area of the screen to go home, a swipe up from the bottom-left or -right to go back, and a swipe up and hold from the bottom-center to open the Overview function and jump to a recently used app.

(Side note: This is the first and hopefully last time I'll ever use the phrase "swipe up from the bottom" in a story.)

 
Even in its rough-around-the-edges form, the system is generating plenty of praise. The gang at Android Central say OnePlus "has nearly solved Android's navigation future," while the voices of The Verge proclaim this first effort to be "shockingly great" and suggest all other phones follow suit.

If all this gushing over gestures has you feeling a touch of envy, fear not: You can implement a similar system on your own Android device this very minute. All you need is the right app to do it.

Ready, set, swipe

Android actually has several gesture-providing programs with varying levels of complexity and requirements. I tried them all, and the one I'd recommend for most people is the aptly named Gesture Control — which offers the best overall balance of function and usability without requiring a worrisome level of permission access. It's fully functional in its free form, too, with an optional $3.49 upgrade that'll add in some additional settings.

 
When you first run the app, it'll prompt you to authorize it as an accessibility service. That access is needed in order for the app to be able to activate system functions like Home, Back, and Overview — which, of course, is core to its very purpose. It's worth noting, though, that the app does not have permission to access any networks (you can see this for yourself by looking at the "Permissions" link at the bottom of its Play Store listing) and thus can't directly transmit any data off of your device.

So how does the thing work? It's actually pretty simple — and pretty similar to what we just described with the OnePlus setup, albeit with a few twists (and with ample room for customization).

By default, Gesture Control lets you swipe up from the bottom-center area of your screen to return to your home screen from anywhere in the system. You can swipe horizontally toward the left along that same bottom-of-screen area to activate Android's Back function, meanwhile, and you can swipe up from the bottom-center and then hold your finger down to open Android's Overview function.

It takes a little practice, but once you get used to it, getting around with these gestures is really easy and kinda fun. Depending on how you like to work, I could certainly see it saving time and making it faster to move from one thing to the next.

And then there's all that aforementioned potential for customization: In Gesture Control's settings, you can change what action any gesture performs — and you can configure additional gestures, like swiping horizontally toward the right along the bottom of your screen or swiping horizontally in either direction and then holding your finger down for even more actions.

Next-level gesture control

All of those options open up some interesting possibilities. You could assign a gesture to activate split-screen mode on your device, to launch Google Assistant, to open your notification panel, or to serve as a shortcut to any other app you want (if you spring for the $3.49 upgrade, in that final case). You could even set a gesture to adjust your device's volume or screen brightness, if you were so inclined.

Gesture Control has a bunch of tools for tweaking its behavior, too. By default, for instance, the app puts a line on the bottom area of your screen to remind you of its gesture activation zone — much like the iPhone X does. Here, though, you can opt to change the line's color, hide it altogether, or hide it and then have it reappear briefly whenever you touch it. You can even move or extend the active gesture area to make it work better for your own personal swiping style.

 JR
The one catch: Gesture Control doesn't actually make your regular on-screen navigation buttons go away — so while you get the benefit of the fancy new method of getting around, you don't get the benefit of having that sliver of space on your screen freed up from the now-redundant traditional navigation buttons.

 
Some phones, like the Galaxy S8, have built-in options for auto-hiding the on-screen nav bar whenever you're inside an app. Android itself, however, has no such option. (It does have a native "immersive mode" that makes the buttons disappear during certain activities, like full-screen video viewing, but that's not meant to be an always-activated sort of thing. There are apps that'll force that mode to stay active all the time, but that then keeps your keyboard from appearing when it should. Like I said, it's not designed for this; it's designed to hide the buttons or make them transparent as appropriate so they're never truly in the way.)

Unless your device has its own nav-bar-hiding option, then — or you're among the power-user crowd who enjoys venturing into device-rooting territory to access advanced system modification tools — there aren't any great options to send the nav bar a-packin'.

A silver lining, though: There are tons of ways you can expand upon the same principle and create even more gesture-based methods of interacting with your phone — from keeping widgets a swipe away to adding gestures to your fingerprint sensor and bringing an always-accessible "taskbar" to your device. Custom launchers like Action Launcher and Nova Launcher can give you all sorts of customizable gestures for your home screen, too. The only limitation is how much time you have to experiment and figure out what works best for you.

At the end of the day, that's one of Android's greatest assets. Regardless of what sort of experience a phone ships with out of the box, you always have the ability to take control and make things work the way you like.

And when it comes to something as personal as mobile technology, that kind of power is invaluable to have.

Microsoft’s cloud storage service, OneDrive, can back up your personal and work files online. It’s built into Windows 10. With it you can sync files on your Windows 10 PC to the cloud and to your other Windows PCs, smartphone or tablet (with the OneDrive app for Android or iOS installed on either). It can even sync your cloud files to your Mac (via the OneDrive desktop app).

It's handy for collaboration too. You can share files in your OneDrive with anyone by sending them a web link.

Here are the essentials for using Microsoft OneDrive in Windows 10.

[ Further reading: Windows 10 cheat sheet ]

Getting started

There are two ways to sign in to OneDrive in Windows 10. When you sign in to your Windows 10 PC with a Microsoft user account, OneDrive is already activated by default. (If you have a free webmail account on Outlook.com, then you already have a Microsoft user account. If not, you can sign up for one for free.)

If you don’t want to sign in to Windows 10 with a Microsoft user account, you can sign in to OneDrive separately with your Microsoft user account. Right-click the OneDrive icon (it looks like clouds) in the notification area on the taskbar, select Settings, go to the “Account” tab, and click the "Add an account" button.

Managing projects across teams both large and small isn’t easy. It can sometimes get complex and is often inefficient. That’s where collaborative task management firm Asana hopes to help out. It aims to make tracking work activities simpler, reducing the need for email and unnecessary meetings, or – as Asana calls it – all that “work about work.”

Asana was created in 2008 by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and software engineer Justin Rosenstein after they saw a need to coordinate teams more effectively inside the social network’s operations. They soon realized that tech giants weren’t the only companies that could benefit from greater efficiency.

“It turns out that these difficulties tracking work are universal across organizations: the bigger your team, and the bigger your mission, the bigger your coordination problem,” Moskovitz and Rosenstein wrote in a blog post.

The application is now used by 25,000 paying customers, including companies from a number of industries, from Uber and Airbnb to Spotify, Bed Bath & Beyond and even NASA. That’s up from 13,000 in 2016.

 
How does Asana work?

At a basic level, the cloud-based software allows colleagues within an organization’s Asana workspace to track and manage the progress of projects. For example, workflows can be set up for HR teams to manage the onboarding process for new staff.

At a more granular level, “tasks” are created to monitor individual components of a wider project. 

Teams of users can add tasks, assign them to team members, set due dates for completion, comment and share relevant documents. Notifications on the status of tasks – and looming deadlines – are sent to a user’s inbox.

Microsoft’s Skype for Business will be replaced by Teams, which is slated to become the primary communications client within Office 365.

The Teams instant messaging platform – which is bundled with the company’s Office 365 productivity suite – was launched only six months ago as a rival to Slack. According to Microsoft, there are now 125,000 organizations using the software globally.

Teams is already running on Skype’s cloud-based infrastructure for video and audio calls, which Microsoft is “evolving rapidly.”

“We are excited about this new infrastructure because it will provide both speed of innovation as well as higher quality communication experiences,” the company said in an announcement pegged to its Microsoft Ignite event in Orlando, Fla.

 
Skype for Business had been the primary tool for video conferencing and enterprise chat since taking over from chat application Lync.

Alan Lepofsky, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research, said the decision to phase out Skype for Business in favor of Teams should be met by customers in “a positive light,” as it will further simplify Microsoft’s product portfolio.

“Reducing the number of applications that end users have to choose between should lead to a more seamless collaboration experience,” he said.

[ To comment on this story, visit Computerworld's Facebook page. ]
Gartner research director, Larry Cannell, called the decision a “bold move” as Microsoft faces tough competition in the enterprise collaboration market. “With Teams, Microsoft isn’t just taking on Slack or Cisco or whomever, they are trying to change the rules of the game for team collaboration on their own terms,” he said.

 
“By replacing the desktop Skype for Business Online client with Teams, Microsoft is exposing the Teams experience to a significantly broader audience,” Cannell said. 

Team will replace Skype for Business “over time,” Microsoft said in a blog post, though it plans to continue to support both on-premise and cloud Skype for Business deployments. A new version of Skype for Business Server will also be released in the second half of 2018.

Although Microsoft did not give a specific date for retiring Skype for Business, Patrick Moorhead, at Moor Insights & Strategy, said users are likely to be given plenty of time to migrate. “I’m not concerned with any current Skype customer transitioning over, as Microsoft gives customers literally years on these kinds of things,” he said.

Microsoft also announced new capabilities for Teams at the Ignite conference today. They include the ability to make and receive public network phone calls from the application, as well as call hold, call transfer and voicemail functionality. 

An audio conferencing feature, available now in preview, will allow users to join a Teams meeting by dialing a phone number, and there will be greater interoperability with Skype for Business.

Microsoft said that Teams will be the central tool for what it calls “intelligent communications,” and it laid out plans for new features such as surfacing documents ahead of a meeting, recording and transcribing discussions, and subsequently adding notes and recordings to relevant Teams channels for review.

The new features follow Microsoft’s addition of guest access within Teams earlier this month, as well as integrations with Adobe’s portfolio of products.

Everyone knows the secret to success — personal and business alike — is good communication. But in what form? If you're trying to communicate with a group in real time, you're no doubt familiar with the old standby: conference calls. You know: those mind-numbing phone meetings in which talkers overlap, voice quality is terrible, half the people aren't paying attention and somebody's dog barks intermittently throughout the call.

But what's the alternative? Consider an old (very old) standby: instant messaging. Except nobody calls it that anymore; now it's group chat. These virtual meeting rooms are focused on text-based communication — and often vastly preferable to conference calls.

Why type when you can talk? A chat session makes it easier for everyone to be "heard," as you can instantly see who said what. (No more having to start every sentence by identifying yourself.) If someone is momentarily distracted, they can easily jump back into the conversation by reviewing the previous comments. And, perhaps best of all, there's no static or background noise. On a group chat, no one knows you're listening to your favorite playlist.

There are other advantages, too, like the option of keeping a permanent, searchable transcript of each session. Most chat services also let you share or embed files in real time (as opposed to, "Hang on, I'll email you the spreadsheet. Did you get it yet? How about now?"). Many will let you break off into side chats if you need a quick one-on-one discussion of what's happening in the group. ("Do you think Bob is going to need some extra help on this project?") And don't forget the security advantages: Voice conversations can be overheard; text-based chats cannot. (To that end, the vast majority of chat services offer heavily encrypted sessions.)

Okay, but why not just fire off a text message or loop in a few co-workers through, say, iMessage? Texting is too cumbersome for anything longer than a quick exchange, and too "cramped" if you're trying to communicate with more than a few people.

This is not to say that group chats are ideal for every scenario, merely that they're an option worth considering — especially if you're finding your current communication methods lacking. For this story we looked at 10 group-chat services — Slack, Microsoft Teams, Atlassian Stride (HipChat's replacement), Facebook Workplace, Zoho Cliq, Zulip, Telegram, CA Flowdock, ChatWork and MangoApps Office Chat — that offer web- and app-based instant messaging for two or more people, but with different 

Microsoft is due to release the next major update for Windows 10 in March or April. Rumor has it that the release, code-named Redstone 4, may be called the “Spring Creators Update,” following in the tradition of the October 2017 Fall Creators Update and the April 2017 Creators Update before that.

We’ve been tracking the Insider Preview builds of Redstone 4 as they’ve rolled out. Here are the new features coming to Windows 10 this spring that enterprise users and IT should note.

(See page 2 of this story for key enterprise features in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.)

Pick up where you left off with Timeline

The much anticipated Timeline feature debuts with the spring release. It's part of the Task View tool and takes snapshots of your activities in various Windows apps over time — documents you were working on, web pages you visited, and so on. After a series of these snapshots have been archived by Timeline, you can click the Task View icon and scroll vertically back in time through thumbnails of these past activities, or use the search box to search for a specific activity. Click on any thumbnail, and the appropriate app and piece of content will be reopened.

f you still think that operating systems are tied to hardware, you need to update your thinking; nowadays there are lots of options that let you run one operating system within another or in parallel to another. This is true whether your base operating system is Linux, Windows or macOS X. My main system boots macOS X, for example, but also has Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux accessible as full operating system installs.

This requires a lot of resources, however, and is typically done as a dual boot or virtual machine, which can put a lot of demands on your computing device. Certainly if you’re running apps within a VM while trying to use other programs in the native operating system, you might end up frustrated with overall performance.

But there are some smart alternatives that graft features and characteristics of one operating system onto another. Cygwin offers just this ability to anyone who is running Microsoft Windows but wants access to a Linux command shell and many of the best open-source Linux programs available today. Better yet, as an open-source project, Cygwin is free to install and use.

Cygwin's start

Cygwin gets its name from Cygnus Solutions, where the original developer, Steve Chamberlain, was working when he started building a system to allow GCC (the GNU C Compiler) to output Windows-compatible executable code. It was originally called gnuwin32.

At a more technical level, Cygwin is a brilliant idea, an emulation of all the API-level calls required for POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) compliance between Linux and the Windows system. This means that you instantly have support for a wide variety of development tools and utilities that otherwise aren’t a part of Windows itself. Particularly for developers, this can be a huge boon.

Let me be clear, though: Cygwin does not offer the ability for you to download and run any Linux application. Apps need to be recompiled specifically for the Cygwin environment to work properly. Good news, though; there are lots and lots of open-source software packages — over 21,000 — that have been ported to the Cygwin environment, notably including ImageMagick, Python, Perl, Ruby, EMACS, make, curl and bzip2, along with support for developing code in C, C++, Objective-C, Tcl, Ada, CLISP, Scheme and Prolog.
