The Collaboration Services team has discovered that using third-party apps to connect to a U-M Google account can lead to unexpected results.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google-created apps and applications<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apps and applications created by Google provide the most seamless experience when using Google services, particularly with mobile devices. Google-created apps and applications are also supported by Google, whereas third-party apps are not. We strongly recommend that only <\/strong>apps and applications created and supported by Google<\/strong><\/a> be used to connect to U-M Google accounts for these reasons.<\/strong> A web browser may also be used.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third-party apps and applications<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Third-party apps and applications are created by a group or company other than Google. Google does not support the use of third-party apps or incidents that might result by using them<\/strong>. Using apps not provided by Google is at your own risk<\/strong> and could lead to university data loss. We have seen issues related to the use of third-party applications when used with Google services.
