  • A Visualization on What's Changing Google Accounts Help
    Google Accounts Help About the conversion: A visualization on what's changing Google offers different types of accounts to different types of users. Until recently, we offered two primary types of accounts that were completely separate services: Google Accounts Provide access to all Google products and services, such as Gmail, Blogger, Orkut, and Web History. Can be created with any email address, such as the email address you have with your organization, or with any webmail address (@yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.). Signing up for Gmail automatically creates a Google Account with that address. Google Apps Accounts Issued and managed by and used with your @my-domain.com organization. Provide access to only Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sites, Groups, and Video. Before the transition Google Accounts Google Apps accounts Example accounts: [email protected] Example accounts: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sample of products on Google Accounts: Only 6 products on Google Apps accounts: However, we recently transitioned Google Apps accounts so you can use your @my-domain.com address to access the same Google products and services that Google Accounts holders can. Your Google Apps Account is now a Google Account. Conflicting accounts If you've used other Google products outside of the ones you can access with your Google Apps account such as Picasa, Reader, or AdWords, you've already created a conflicting Google Account. If you used your Google Apps email address to sign up for and use those other Google services, you now have two Google Accounts, with the same address.
