Note:
With the launch of Drive File Stream in September 2017, Google will begin the process of deprecating the Google Drive for Mac/PC sync tool. Support for the tool ended on December 11, 2017 and the application will no longer be available starting March 12, 2018.
Google Drive File Stream is a desktop application that lets you stream My Drive and Team Drive files directly from the cloud.
Features
- Frees up disk space and network bandwidth utilization
- Decreases sync time
- Minimizes the amount of JCU data stored on users’ hard drives
With Google Drive File Stream, you can open and edit most document types directly out of Drive File Stream without having to download the file onto your computer. When you make edits to the file, the changes are automatically saved in My Drive.
You can also make My Drive and Team Drive files available for offline access. These cached files sync back to the cloud when you are online, so the latest version is available on all your devices.

To set up IMAP on your iPhone/Blackberry, you must supply your full account username including the @jcu.edu and account password.

Is my JCU Gmail account secure and private?
Google has promised to uphold a strict privacy policy and to always treat your personal information with the utmost care and security. Read more about Google Privacy & Security. Keep in mind that Google has agreed that John Carroll University student data is subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) when in Google’s possession.
How is my personal data used?
Google’s computers process the information in your account for the purpose of providing an effective service (example: putting mail into folders, maintaining contact lists, etc.).
Step 1
Run the Setup a Google Apps Sync User program under All Programs. When it opens, it will ask you for the username and password of the Gmail account that was setup. Put in the information and click Continue.
Google will ask whether you want to give various permissions to Outlook. Scroll down and click Accept.
If the Google Apps Sync window is still open, click Continue.
When it signs in, Click Create Profile.
Once it is done, click Start Microsoft Outlook and the new Gmail profile will show up.
Outlook will open up and begin to sync. This may take some time.
Then right click the 
icon in the tray and select Set mailbox size limit.
Then select unlimited and click OK.
Add any department or specialty email accounts on as a delegate account if it has been configured. If not, call the Service Desk to get it moved over.
Once it has synced, have the Service Desk double-check everything and correct any mistakes that were made.
Step 2 (Not always needed)
If you need to setup a department account as well, follow these instructions.
Go to the File tab, select Add Account at the top.
Select “Manual setup or additional server types” and click Next.
Select “POP or IMAP” and click Next.
Insert the below information, substituting your name, email, etc. Be sure to select IMAP for Account Type and to fill in the Password box. You do not have to check “Remember password”.
Then click More Settings, navigate to the Outgoing Server tab, and check the following box. Be sure the button “Use same settings as my incoming mail server” is selected.
Navigate to the Advanced tab. For the first “Use the following type of encrypted connection” box select SSL and for the second select TLS. The IMAP and SMTP numbers will change to reflect this.
Click OK to close the More settings window, then Next, then Finish to close the Add account window.
