Gmail introduces new work tools, will let corporate customers edit documents, files without leaving the email service

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA: Alphabet Inc’s Google said its corporate Gmail customers would now be able to edit documents and other files without leaving the email service, as it aims to lure clients from rivals by making its tools more integrated.

The announcement was made at Google’s cloud unit’s annual customer and partner conference, which has been turned into a virtual gathering over several weeks because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Google has been trying for more than a decade to catch up with Microsoft Corp’s Office, which dominates the global market for corporate email and document-editing tools.
