How to integrate google apps with windows 8

Windows 8 is designed to push Microsoft’s web services: Bing, Internet Explorer, Outlook.com, and more. However, Windows 8 isn’t limited to just Microsoft’s services. Google services like Gmail, Google Search, Chrome, and more can all be integrated with Windows 8.

Google hasn’t made many Modern apps for Windows 8 and has no intention of doing so, but important Google services like Gmail work in the included apps. Unfortunately, contact and calendar sync will stop working in July.

Google Search

Google has made one modern app: the Google Search app. Install it from the Windows Store and you’ll get a tile that brings up a Windows 8-style Google search screen. This app is designed to compete with Microsoft’s Bing search app.

If you use Internet Explorer, you can also change IE’s default search engine to Google. This option is only accessible from the desktop version of Internet Explorer, although changing it also affects the Modern version of Internet Explorer.

Chrome

Google offers a version of Google Chrome for Windows 8. If you install Chrome and set it as your default browser, you will be able to use a Modern version of Google Chrome in the new Windows 8 environment. This gives you access to your Google account’s synced bookmarks, apps, extensions, and other browser data.

You can toggle between the two styles of Google Chrome browser – desktop mode and Windows 8 mode – using the Relaunch Chrome option in Chrome’s menu.

Note that Google Chrome is not available on Windows RT. Microsoft bans third-party browsers on Windows RT, just as they ban third-party desktop apps. On a Windows RT machine like the Microsoft Surface RT, you will have to use Internet Explorer for all your web browsing.

Gmail, Contacts, & Calendar

The Mail app included with Windows 8 supports Gmail accounts. You will be able to read your emails, send emails, and see new mail notifications for your Gmail account on the Mail app’s live tile.

To add your Google account, open the Mail app, press Windows Key + I to open the Settings charm, and select Accounts.

Select the Google account option and enter your Google account’s email address and password.

Unfortunately, this is a time of upheaval. While you can currently add Google accounts and sync your contacts and calendars with the People and Calendar apps on Windows 8, Google is removing the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support for free accounts. (Microsoft charges Google a licensing fee to offer this service.)

Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) support will be deactivated on July 31, 2013. After this date, you will have to access Gmail via IMAP in the Mail app. Contacts and calendars in the People and Calendar apps will not be available unless Microsoft adds support for the CalDAV and CardDAV standards to these apps.

Pin It

Google’s web apps can be sort-of integrated with Windows 8’s start screen with the pinning feature. You can pin shortcuts to websites such as Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) or Google Maps to the start screen, allowing you to access them with a single click.

To pin a website to your Start screen in Chrome, you first have to open Chrome’s menu, point to Tools, and select Create Application Shortcuts. Create a shortcut on your desktop. You can then right-click the desktop shortcut and select Pin to Start.

Of course, all the standard Google applications — Google Drive, Google Earth, Picasa, and others – work normally on the Windows 8 desktop. (But not on Windows RT, which only allows desktop applications written by Microsoft.)

You will also find some unofficial apps for Google services in the Windows Store, including unofficial apps for Google Maps and Google Reader. If you are looking for a modern app that supports Google Talk and other chat networks, search for the IM+ app in the Windows Store.

Windows 8 ได้รับการออกแบบมาเพื่อผลักดันบริการบนเว็บของ Microsoft: Bing, Internet Explorer, Outlook.com และอีกมากมาย อย่างไรก็ตาม Windows 8 ไม่ได้ จำกัด อยู่แค่บริการของ Microsoft บริการทั้งหมดของ Google เช่น Gmail, Google Search, Chrome และอื่น ๆ สามารถรวมเข้ากับ Windows 8 ได้.

Google ไม่ได้สร้างแอพที่ทันสมัยจำนวนมากสำหรับ Windows 8 และไม่มีความตั้งใจที่จะทำเช่นนั้น แต่บริการสำคัญของ Google เช่น Gmail ทำงานได้ในแอปที่รวมมาด้วย น่าเสียดายที่การติดต่อและการซิงค์ปฏิทินจะหยุดทำงานในเดือนกรกฎาคม.

ค้นหา Google

Google ได้สร้างแอปที่ทันสมัยหนึ่งแอป: Google Search ติดตั้งจาก Windows Store และคุณจะได้รับไทล์ที่แสดงหน้าจอการค้นหาของ Google ในรูปแบบ Windows 8 แอพนี้ออกแบบมาเพื่อแข่งขันกับแอปค้นหา Bing ของ Microsoft.

หากคุณใช้ Internet Explorer คุณสามารถเปลี่ยนเครื่องมือค้นหาเริ่มต้นของ IE เป็น Google ได้ ตัวเลือกนี้สามารถเข้าถึงได้จาก Internet Explorer รุ่นเดสก์ท็อปเท่านั้นแม้ว่าการเปลี่ยนแปลงจะมีผลกับ Internet Explorer รุ่นทันสมัย.

โครเมียม

Google เสนอ Google Chrome รุ่นหนึ่งสำหรับ Windows 8 หากคุณติดตั้ง Chrome และตั้งเป็นเบราว์เซอร์เริ่มต้นคุณจะสามารถใช้ Google Chrome รุ่นทันสมัยในสภาพแวดล้อม Windows 8 ใหม่ สิ่งนี้จะช่วยให้คุณสามารถเข้าถึงบุ๊กมาร์กแอปพลิเคชันส่วนขยายและข้อมูลเบราว์เซอร์อื่น ๆ ของบัญชี Google.

คุณสามารถสลับระหว่างสองสไตล์ของเบราว์เซอร์ Google Chrome – โหมดเดสก์ท็อปและโหมด Windows 8 – โดยใช้ตัวเลือก Relaunch Chrome ในเมนูของ Chrome.

โปรดทราบว่า Google Chrome ไม่สามารถใช้งานได้ใน Windows RT Microsoft ห้ามเบราว์เซอร์ของบุคคลที่สามใน Windows RT เช่นเดียวกับที่ห้ามการใช้งานแอพเดสก์ท็อปของบุคคลที่สาม ในเครื่อง Windows RT เช่น Microsoft Surface RT คุณจะต้องใช้ Internet Explorer สำหรับการท่องเว็บทั้งหมดของคุณ.

Gmail, รายชื่อติดต่อและปฏิทิน

แอปอีเมลที่มาพร้อมกับ Windows 8 รองรับบัญชี Gmail คุณจะสามารถอ่านอีเมลส่งอีเมลและดูการแจ้งเตือนทางอีเมลใหม่สำหรับบัญชี Gmail ของคุณในไทล์สดของแอพ Mail.

หากต้องการเพิ่มบัญชี Google ของคุณให้เปิดแอปอีเมลกด Windows Key + I เพื่อเปิดทางลัดการตั้งค่าและเลือกบัญชี.

เลือกตัวเลือกบัญชี Google และป้อนที่อยู่อีเมลและรหัสผ่านของบัญชี Google.

น่าเสียดายที่นี่เป็นช่วงเวลาแห่งความวุ่นวาย ในขณะที่คุณสามารถเพิ่มบัญชี Google และซิงค์รายชื่อและปฏิทินของคุณด้วยแอพ People และ Calendar ใน Windows 8 แต่ Google กำลังลบการสนับสนุน Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync สำหรับบัญชีฟรี (Microsoft เรียกเก็บค่าธรรมเนียมใบอนุญาตของ Google เพื่อให้บริการนี้)

การสนับสนุน Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) จะถูกปิดการใช้งานในวันที่ 31 กรกฎาคม 2013 หลังจากวันที่นี้คุณจะต้องเข้าถึง Gmail ผ่าน IMAP ในแอปอีเมล ผู้ติดต่อและปฏิทินในแอพ People and Calendar จะไม่สามารถใช้งานได้เว้นแต่ Microsoft จะเพิ่มการรองรับมาตรฐาน CalDAV และ CardDAV ให้กับแอปเหล่านี้.

ขามัน

แอพพลิเคชั่นบนเว็บของ Google สามารถจัดเรียงให้เข้ากับหน้าจอเริ่มต้นของ Windows 8 พร้อมกับคุณสมบัติการตรึง คุณสามารถปักหมุดทางลัดไปยังเว็บไซต์ต่างๆเช่น Google Drive (เดิมคือ Google Docs) หรือ Google Maps ไปที่หน้าจอเริ่มต้นทำให้คุณสามารถเข้าถึงได้ด้วยการคลิกเพียงครั้งเดียว.

ในการตรึงเว็บไซต์ไว้ที่หน้าจอเริ่มของคุณใน Chrome ก่อนอื่นคุณต้องเปิดเมนูของ Chrome ชี้ไปที่เครื่องมือและเลือกสร้างทางลัดแอปพลิเคชัน สร้างทางลัดบนเดสก์ท็อปของคุณ จากนั้นคุณสามารถคลิกขวาที่ทางลัดบนเดสก์ท็อปแล้วเลือก Pin to Start.

การตรึงเว็บไซต์ไว้ที่หน้าจอเริ่มของคุณใน Modern Internet Explorer นั้นง่ายยิ่งขึ้น.

หากคุณไม่ชอบไอคอนเรียงต่อเว็บไซต์คุณสามารถใช้ OblyTile เพื่อสร้างไอคอนเรียงหน้าตาที่ดูดีกว่าสำหรับเว็บไซต์หรือแอปพลิเคชันใด ๆ.

แน่นอนว่าแอปพลิเคชันมาตรฐานของ Google ทั้งหมด – Google Drive, Google Earth, Picasa และอื่น ๆ – ทำงานได้ตามปกติบนเดสก์ท็อป Windows 8 (แต่ไม่ใช่ใน Windows RT ซึ่งอนุญาตเฉพาะแอปพลิเคชันเดสก์ท็อปที่เขียนโดย Microsoft)

คุณจะพบแอพที่ไม่เป็นทางการสำหรับบริการของ Google ใน Windows Store รวมถึงแอพที่ไม่เป็นทางการสำหรับ Google Maps และ Google Reader หากคุณกำลังมองหาแอพที่ทันสมัยที่รองรับ Google Talk และเครือข่ายการแชทอื่น ๆ ให้ค้นหาแอพ IM + ใน Windows Store.

Google and Microsoft often go at each other’s throats when it comes to the latest and greatest in online technologies. It should come as no surprise then to see that Google products are not integrated into the Windows 8 release. There are a few ways to integrate Google apps into Windows 8. While they may not give the functionality you would like, it can be a quick fix.

Why integrate Google apps into Windows 8?

Google has become part of our lives now online. For many of us, we would be lost without access to Google Search, Gmail, Maps and more. By integrating these apps into Windows 8, we can have instant access to everything we do with our Google accounts without having to open the browser. While it may cut down on only a few steps, it will make our lives in Windows 8 more efficient.

How to add Google Search

1. Open the Windows Store and initiate a search for “Google Search.”

2. Click “Install.”

3. Once installed, open Google Search.

Now, you can search Google from the comfort of your Start screen in Windows 8 as opposed to opening it in a browser.

Accessing Windows 8 mode for Google Chrome

The next Google app we will add is Google Chrome. Chrome actually has a hidden Windows 8 mode if you download the desktop version from Google.

1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Click the settings button in the browser.

3. Click “Relaunch Chrome in Windows 8 mode.”

Chrome will then relaunch itself and when it does, you will be using a full screen app-like version of it. While it may not be a true Windows 8 app version of Chrome, its appearance will blend in with the feel of your operating system.

Move Gmail to Windows 8 mail

Windows 8 comes with a pre-installed version of its mail app. You can add a variety of accounts to it, including your Gmail account.

1. Open “Mail” from the Start screen.

2. Click the “Windows Key + I” to open Mail’s settings.

3. Then, click “Accounts.”

4. Select “Google.”

5. Add your Gmail login details, then click “Connect.”

Now, your Gmail account with be added to Mail. You will get real time alerts in Windows 8 when you receive your mail. You can add multiple Gmail accounts as well to stay caught up on your e-mail.

Add in any Google app as a live tile shortcut

If you use any other Google app frequently, you can create a live tile shortcut on your Start screen to access it instantly.

1. Open Google Chrome and head to the Google app of your choice. For this guide, we will be using Google Drive.

2. Click the settings button in the browser, followed by “Tools.”

3. Click “Create application shortcuts….”

4. A pop-up will ask you where you want to create the shortcut. Choose “Desktop,” then click “Create.”

5. On the desktop, right-click the shortcut to the Google app. Click “Pin to Start.”

5. Now, head back to your Start screen and you will see the newly created Google app shortcut. Click on it.

You now have access to that Google app in Windows 8 in its own compact window.

Microsoft will probably not integrate Google apps into Windows 8 in the near future, but with these handy tricks, you can get the most from Google in Windows 8.

Use the steps below to have Google Chrome start automatically when your Windows 10 computer starts.

Click the Start button at the bottom-left of the screen.

Scroll to Google Chrome, right-click it, choose “More,” then choose “Open file location.”

Right-click the Google Chrome icon, then choose “Copy.”

Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard simultaneously.

Type shell:startup into the field, then click “Run.”

Right-click inside the Startup folder, then click “Paste.”

Everyone uses their computer in a different way, so there is no blueprint for the best way to configure your computer. The best that you can do is use your computer over time and determine what you like and what you don’t like. Maybe there is a program that you do not use that opens whenever you turn on your computer, and the added startup time is not worth it to you. But, conversely, maybe there is a program that you use all the time that you would like to open automatically when you start your computer.

If you want to learn how to start Google Chrome automatically when your computer starts, then it is possible to adjust your Windows 7 settings so that occurs. The change is simple and can be applied to any other program that you want to start automatically when your computer boots. Take caution, however, as too many startup programs can really slow down your computer.

Launch Google Chrome Automatically at Startup in Windows 7

There are a few programs that get a lot of use on my computer, but none of them even come close to Google Chrome. I spend a lot of my day with that Web browser open in some capacity, and I have become so accustomed to it that other browsers just feel different. Because of its importance to my regular computing habits, I decided that I would save myself a couple of seconds each morning and have Google Chrome start automatically when I turned on my computer. You accomplish this by moving Chrome to your Startup folder. Follow the tutorial below to learn how to achieve this setup on your own Windows 7 computer.

Click the Start button at the bottom-left corner of your screen, then click All Programs.

Click the Google Chrome folder to expand it, then click the Google Chrome icon and drag it down to the Startup folder.

Depending upon how many different program folders you have in your All Programs menu, this might take a few seconds.

You can release your mouse button and drop the icon into the folder, and it should then be included among the other icons in your Startup folder. The next time you start your computer, Google Chrome will launch automatically. You can return to this folder at any time and add or delete programs from here as needed.

The Startup folder can also be accessed through your C drive at the file path:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

and you can drag and drop program icons into that folder to include programs at startup as well. If you do not see a folder, then it might be hidden. You can unhide folders by clicking the Windows Explorer icon in your taskbar, clicking Organize, then clicking Folder and search options. Click the View tab at the top of the window, then click the Show hidden files, folders and drives option. Click Apply, then click OK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Type “startup” into the search field at the bottom-left of the screen, choose the “Startup Apps” option, then click the button to the right of any app to remove from startup.

Most other apps can be configured to launch at startup using the same steps outlined above for Google Chrome. However, if you don’t have an “Open file location” option when you right-click on the app, then you won’t be able to launch it when the computer starts.

The more programs you add to startup in Windows 10, the more the computer needs to do whenever it restarts. Some apps have a minimal impact on the startup time, while others can really affect startup time negatively.

M icrosoft’s new Windows 10 software, out Wednesday, is effectively a sneak attack on Google, packing a new desktop search bar that can field just about any question under the sun. And it’s powered in part by Microsoft’s own Bing search engine, meaning the move could help Microsoft gain even more of the search market share against its foremost rival.

Windows 10’s search features are a welcome change to the myriad search options currently sprawling across our digital lives. Right now, search looks a little like this: Want to search the web? Go to Google. Your calendar appointments? Open your calendar app. Your local files on a phone, tablet or PC? Launch finder windows, one by one. Microsoft aims to replace all of those searches with a single, comprehensive search bar that scans everything — your device, your apps, your cloud and the web — in one fell swoop.

The result is a more versatile search experience, but one that users may find momentarily disorienting. After all, we’re used to rummaging through digital compartments and wielding search like a spotlight. At first glance, the search bar in Windows 10 looks like yet another circumscribed spotlight. That is, until you start typing in commands. The scope of answers soon expands well beyond your expectations.

File searches work not only by name, but by file type. Type in “.ppt,” for example, and a list of PowerPoint presentations crops up in a pop-up menu, sortable by most recent or most relevant and accessible in one click. Searches for the names of apps extend beyond your device and into the Windows Store, fetching not only the apps you’ve installed, but the apps you may want to download, too.

When it comes to web searches, you may not regularly visit Bing, though it recently reached 20% of the search market share in the U.S. Windows 10 brings Bing to the forefront, fetching answers faster than you can type the word “Google.” Open-ended questions, like “what’s the meaning of life?” automatically opens up the relevant results on Bing’s landing page. As you type, Bing will autopopulate frequent search phrases (Life lyrics? Life of Pi?) before zipping the question out to the web.

Questions with more definitive answers, like “what’s 2+2,” come even faster with an assist from Cortana, Microsoft’s new voice-activated digital assistant. Cortana pulls the answer, (four, in case you were wondering), directly into a pop-up menu above the search bar, circumventing the web browser entirely.

And that’s where things get interesting, because Cortana can also use machine learning to display everything you wanted to know, but were too busy to ask. Microsoft’s group program manager for Cortana, Marcus Ash, showed TIME his personalized suggestions from Cortana during his recent visit to Manhattan. A stack of cards in a pop-up menu displayed nearby restaurants in Midtown.

“[Cortana] knows I’m in New York and knows it’s roughly lunch time,” Ash said as he scrolled through a list of pubs and delicatessens. “The list will change for happy hour and change for dinner later on.” Throw in stock price gyrations and flight cancellations, and the very idea of search as most of us know it starts to look outdated.

Windows 10’s personalized search feature isn’t exactly a breakthrough. Google Now users have been seeing similar results since 2012, and Apple’s next big Siri upgrade offers similar functionality. But it’s a field open to competition, and winner of the search wars in the years ahead is likely to be the one that delivers the best personalized results right when you need them. In a sign of how far Microsoft has come, this writer, for the first time ever, used a Bing Map, despite my historical preference for Google, simply because it popped up first in a Windows 10 search menu. If that’s true of other Windows 10 users, Microsoft’s new operating system could prove an unexpectedly successful trojan horse for the company.
