How your organization can find Marketplace apps
You and your users can use the Google Workspace Marketplace to find and install apps to expand core Google Workspace services, such as Google Drive or Gmail, and standalone apps that enhance the existing capabilities of Google Workspace.
How Google reviews Marketplace apps
When a developer submits an app to the Marketplace to be publicly available, Google reviews the submission to make sure the app meets our guidelines. The developer must provide information about the app’s features and how it works, in addition to links to help users get started or to contact the developer for support. Google also conducts regular reviews for the most popular apps. For more information, see About app review.
Additionally, apps that use Google APIs to access user data might have to complete a verification process before the app is made available on the Marketplace. Whether verification is needed depends on what type of user data the app accesses and the degree of access that’s needed. For more information, see How do I submit for verification?
How apps are organized & ranked
The Marketplace displays relevant apps based on a user’s interests and needs. The apps are ranked based on:
- App-experience quality and editorial value: Apps in the Editor’s choice category are curated by Google. For more information, see Editor’s choice.
- Relevancy: Search results are based on how relevant the app’s name and description are to the search term, the app’s popularity, and its user-experience rating. Popularity and user experience have similar importance.
- Popularity: Ranking is based on the number of users who installed the app. Apps with the most installations are in the Most popular category.
- User experience: The number of ratings and average rating are used to order apps in the Top rated category. Google doesn’t verify user reviews and ratings. However, if a review violates our policies, it will be removed. Users can also report abusive reviews.
Issues with multiple Google Accounts
If you log into multiple Google Accounts at the same time, you might have access issues with your Apps Script projects, add-ons, and web apps.
Multi-login, or being logged into multiple Google Accounts at the same time, isn't supported for Apps Script projects, add-ons, or web apps.
To fix multi-login issues, try one of the solutions below:
- Log out of all your Google Accounts, then sign in to one that has the Apps Script project, add-on, or web app you want to use.
- Open an incognito window in Google Chrome, or another private browsing window, and sign in to the Google Account that has the Apps Script project, add-on, or web app you want to use.
