For anyone having trouble keeping up with the renames: "Google Apps" was renamed to "G Suite" in 2016, and was recently renamed again to "Google Workspace".

Also, recently Google has changed the look of the Google drive, Gmail, and probably most of G Suite's logos

At this point I think Google is being run by some runaway AI. Very little that they do makes sense to me
