About its availability for Indonesian market, Google has reduced the service’s price up to 40%. This means that instead of spending $50, users in Indonesia may have Google for Work for only $30.
The service package includes professional e-mail, online storage, shared calendar, and video conference equipment. So far, Google has confirmed that Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Document, and Hangouts are included in the package.
