Work in progress

The UW pays for access to Google Apps, including, notably, Google Drive (formerly Google Docs). We have special terms of service for privacy. You don't need a Google account; your UW NetID is good enough. Note that the privacy protects are limited to Drive, Sites, Groups, and Contacts. You can use other Google services with your UW NetID, but you don't get any special protections.

You can log in two ways.

Recommended way to log in:

1. If you want to simultaneously be logged into a personal account, do so first. If you use the UW login first, it is difficult to later log into your personal account.
2. https://apps.google.wisc.edu/mailplus - Log in as usual.
3. If you logged into a personal account first, going to Google addresses will be your personal account; but following links from the UW login will be your UW account.

Easy way to log in: (This will not work simultaneously with a personal account!)

1. On any Google login page, enter yournetid@wisc.edu; don't enter a password. Click "Sign in". You'll be taken to a UW login page, log in as usual.
