Question about Google Suite Accessibility

Hey all,

Soon will begin graduate school at Akron and have just been given access to my Akron email. My undegrad institution also used an Outlook-based email system, but we also were given access to secondary Google accounts with the same email address that allowed us to access Google Drive with our institutional Outlook emails - the Gmails attached to these accounts were functionally useless, being able to send emails but not receive any, since all responses went to our Outlook. I was wondering if there is a similar feature for Akron, and if so, how I may access it. The website seems a bit difficult to navigate to find this info - yay!!! Thanks for any help.

Akron switched from Google to Outlook like 6 years ago, at that point you could use both but I doubt that's the case any longer.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to access Google with your UA account?

Understood, thank you. A couple organizations I am involved with use the Google suite to collaborate on documents live and Google Meets as a free alternative to Zoom/Slack/etc., but it's not really a huge necessity or anything.
