Are product specialists Google employees?

We are users, or individuals with extensive experience with the products we support, we are not Google employees. We join the community to share our knowledge, with the aim of developing the community.

Be wary of Product Experts who claim to be Google employees and offer you private help outside of the forums for a fee. Report this to us immediately if you see this.
