What is a Google Group? Google Groups serves as mailing lists that allows you to easily send messages to frequently contacted groups of people and communities. You can add email addresses from within or outside the CGIAR.
Does Google Group allow you to share documents or events? No, Google Groups for the CGIAR should be used purely as a mailing list (although you can attach documents in your email - up to 5M per document). If your team also needs a workspace to collaborate (share documents, discussions, announcements, calendar, etc), it is suggested to use a Google Site.
