detection.<\/li>\n<li>Direct integration with Google Drive, Docs, Meet, Contacts, and Calendar.<\/li>\n<li>No service disruption or restoration issues as Gmail is updated often.<\/li>\n<li>Convenient archiving of older messages and the ability to find them with advanced filters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, Gmail is just a smarter, faster, and safer email experience, unlike CenturyLink email.
