Transferring services

Google doesn't provide a straightforward method to move services between accounts. However, you can employ several strategies to streamline account management, although with some serious limitations:

Data transfer between accounts

E.g.:

  • Google Drive: Share files or folders from one account to another and adjust permissions as needed
  • Gmail: Set up mail forwarding to receive emails from multiple accounts in a single inbox
  • Google Photos: Share photo libraries between accounts.

Linking accounts

While you can't merge accounts, you can link them to facilitate easier access:

  • Multiple Sign-In: Sign in to multiple Google Accounts simultaneously and switch between them as needed
  • Alternate Email Addresses: Add alternate email addresses to your Google Account to manage sign-ins more efficiently.

Third-party app connections

Manage and review third-party apps connected to your Google Accounts to ensure they're linked appropriately:
