Google provides a broad range of options for connecting mobile devices to Google Apps. There are options for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), Android phones and tablets, Windows Mobile devices, and Blackberry devices. University Technology will support iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile, and will offer best effort support for BlackBerry.

Before you beginThe Terms of Service for using Google Apps is only available on the web, so before you set the account up on a mobile device, you will need to access your Drew Google account on the web. You only need to do this once, so if you've already logged in to your Google Apps account, you do not need to repeat this step. 1. Sign into your Drew Google account on the web. The easiest way is to simply go to http://mail.drew.edu. 2. Be sure to accept the Google Terms of Service and complete the "CAPTCHA." |

3. Proceed to the instructions for your device. |
iOS (iPhone, iPad)
To configure your iPhone or iPad, please follow the instructions available at Google Support. Please note that you access Google similarly to how you used to access the Drew Mobility Server, by using the "Microsoft Exchange" server type on your phone. Do NOT use the "Gmail" option, it will not work fully and you will not get calendars and contacts on your device. Please also note that although Google has disabled this support for gmail.com accounts it remains available for Google Apps accounts.

Adding your Drew account as a Google accountSome people may notice that they won't have access to Drew's global contact list in older versions of iOS using this method (this means you will see auto-fill work for people you have emailed in the past, but possibly not for Drewids you've never emailed before).

If you successfully entered everything correctly then email should start filtering into your Drew Google account.
Note: "Push" is not supported with Google Mail viewed in the native iPhone Mail app, which means your phone may not routinely check for email messages. To check how your phone is set up, go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data. Make sure your Drew account is set to "Fetch" and scroll down to set how often you would like your phone to check for new emails.

Android phones have native support for Google Services built in. To configure your Android device, first follow Google's instructions for the Device Policy. Then you can sign in to your Drew Google account following these instructions. You can have multiple Google accounts on your phone and it will show contacts and calendars for all of them (calendars from different accounts have different colors by default). Most other Google apps on the device allow you to switch which account is active or switch between accounts interactively. The newest Android phones will also require you to set up a work profile. Different Android phones from different vendors will look different. Read the procedure for an Android phone (v 5.0 and later) by clicking on the expand link below:

Android Device Policy
| Expand |
|---|
Faculty/staff users: Under our policy on the responsible handling of University data, Android users who connect their Drew account to their device are required to install and configure the Android Device Policy app for their device. This will allow Drew to lock or wipe the device in the event that it is lost or stolen, and will allow Drew to protect sensitive University data that might be available in Gmail, Drive, or stored on the device. You will be prompted to install the app when adding your Drew email to your phone. In the event your device is lost or stolen, you can go to https://www.google.com/apps/mydevices/ to locate the device on a map, activate an alarm, remotely lock the device, or remotely wipe it. University Technology can also wipe the device remotely if desired. |
