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 and Android, and will offer best effort support for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.
Faculty and staff users who are required to receive email on a mobile device for work purposes should follow the procedures in the stipend request form. All faculty and staff also have the option of using their personal devices to send and receive Drew email.

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.

For non-Android devices, University Technology recommends connecting to Google Apps with Google Sync support (see below for Android instructions). This support provides connectivity to Google Apps as if it were a Microsoft Exchange server. As such, you will use the following settings:
Username: yourusername@drew.edu
Password: your uLogin password
If you have enrolled in the Duo Two-Factor Authentication service, use your Device Password (found at drew.edu/duo) instead.

Adding your Drew account as a Google accountAlthough the University recommends using the Exchange account type for the reasons listed above, we realize some people prefer to add their account as a Google account. For those individuals, we provide these instructions. Some 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).
Adding your Drew account as an Exchange accountPlease note that, although Google has disabled Exchange support for gmail.com accounts, it remains available for Google Apps accounts.
Note: The password for your account will not actually be checked until you select "Save" above. Thus if the password was not entered correctly you may be prompted to reenter it. |

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. Different Android phones from different vendors will look different.

Google Apps Android Device Policy
Expand |
---|
Faculty/staff users: Under our new 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 Google Apps 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.Open the app after installing, and click Next. Select Activate to activate the Device Policy app to manage your device. Click on Enforce to enable the policy for your device. You will see your device properly managed and synced once this is complete. You can now exit the app (and return to step 7 above if you were just setting up your account). 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. |
