There are many reasons (all of which are
covered in this publication) to delve into
the Google app suite. Yet before you
start to explore these amazing tools and
discover just how much you can do with
them, you need to get to grips with the
basics. What follows details how to set up
your all-important Google account and
also teaches you some important safety
tips to ensure all of your online Google
adventures are secure ones.

Google Account
SetUp
In the past, using several different Google apps would have meant having
several different usernames and passwords. Thankfully, Google took steps
to merge all of these different accounts into one main Google account.
This means that you only have to remember one username and password
to access almost any Google product, plus it is much easier to share
information, images and other data between your devices.
Step 2
Enter your name into the boxes provided and choose your
preferred gmail.com email address. If the name you w ant is
already taken, you w ill be shown some alternatives; or you can

Social Networks - Advice

for Parents
Being parents ourselves, we understand the pressure that many
people feel to let th e ir children use the Internet and social
networks in particular. Many social netw orking sites, including
Facebook, d o n 't allow children under 13 years o f age to have
accounts. Unfortunately there is little th e y can do to stop a child
below th a t age entering false details. Rather than a blanket
ban on using the Internet and social networks, and potentially
have your child visit them behind your back, perhaps a better
way to keep your child safe online is to understand the dangers

than adding a theme.

the ability to sync the browser is a great feature. Chrome lets you save
bookmarks, preferences, themes and even extensions and then share
those changes with all your mobile devices quickly and easily.

different themes and extensions to your browser. Here's how to get started
with apps and extensions on Chrome.

Chrome Themes
Chrome Extensions are web-based programmes that are
designed to be used entirely within the browser. Using
apps, you can do things like create documents, edit photos
and listen to music, without having to install complicated
third-party software on your computer. Themes on the other
hand are purely aesthetic as they change the look of the
Chrome browser and do not add any further functionality.
Think of Themes as a way of injecting a little extra bit of your
personality into your web browser. Step 3

How to Use
Chrome Plug-ins
Plug-ins are essential pieces of software that help the browser to read
and display certain types of content. Unlike extensions, which add
extra features to Chrome, plug-ins are essential to the smooth running
of the browser. Here's how to check, install, block and disable plug-ins
for Chrome.

It's important that you use Autofill only on websites
you trust, as certain websites might try to capture
your information in hidden or hard to see fields. Some
websites prevent browsers from saving text that you've

How to Use Google Drive
Free Google Storage

Google Drive, Googlen- Photos and Gmail give you
storage space for nothing so you can keep your files,
emails and photos accessible from any device, anywhere.
If you reach the free storage limit, everything in Google
Drive, Google+ Photos, and Gmail will still be accessible
but you won't be able to create or add anything new.
You'll still be able to create Google Docs, since they don't
take up any storage space. For G+ Photos, you will only
be able to upload new photos and videos under certain
size limits.

of which are Chrome OS, Chrome, Gmail for mobile and Google Docs for mobile. You can
also print to third-party native mobile apps on the Android and iOS platforms. You can
also try the Google Cloud Print app for Android, so you can not only submit print jobs to
connected cloud-ready printers but also control printer options and manage print jobs
right from your mobile device.

Security and Advantages of Google Pay

Google Pay is not only secure, it also makes shopping easier, no matter if you are buying
a loaf of bread at your local supermarket or the latest fashions online.
Purchase Tracking
As soon as you make a purchase, you'll see a payment confirmation that shows you
exactly where a given transaction happened, along with the merchant's name and
number. So it's easy to catch any suspicious activity.
Tokenisation
When you use your phone to pay in stores, Google Pay doesn't send your actual credit
or debit card number with your payment. Instead it uses a virtual account number to
represent your account info - so your card details stay safe and secure.
Simple App Checkouts

Google Pay makes it easy to check out in apps and online. There is no need to enter your
card details every time you buy something. When you're shopping in your favourite app
just choose Google Pay (if available) at checkout and save yourself some time.
Using Google Apps
Get Inside

The Google Play is, for almost all of your entertainment needs, a

magazines, any of which can be accessed on your smartphone or tablet

Google Home
First Time Setup
Setting up your Google Home device properly for the first time will make
using it much easier, so take the time to get things right. You will need to
have the speaker, an Android device, a Google account and a working
Wi-Fi connection that both Android and Home devices can connect to.
Setting Up Google Home

All of the setup for your Google Home speaker is done through the Google Home app for Android. Use this app for future access
and changes to the settings.
