How do you organize your Google accounts for use on devices ?

by Fnorrbart

Hi - for different reasons along the way I ended up with multiple google accounts. I've got a main personal one with emails on it etc. as well as recent photos. Another account where I backed up ALL my old and new photos as well as using it for google drive. Then I got an anonymous one that I use on an old smartphone as a media only device like podcasts and audiobooks as well as for sites that need logins that I don't trust.

Now I got a new Nvidia Shield and thinking of creating yet a new account as it'll be specific to the device in terms of apps, mostly for gaming. I don't want people using the Shield to access anything personal.

How do you people organize your accounts ? do you have more than one ?

I only have one account. Makes things super fucking simple.

I don't care about anyone in my house accessing my Netflix or YouTube history, though. There's no gmail or Calendar apps, because duh it's a TV device and they assume multiple people will have access to it.

I believe if you go into settings at the very bottom you will see where you can add and manage accounts.

You need to pick an account and stick with it. You're just asking for trouble otherwise. They don't design the system to take into account your use case and never will.

I Like the idea of having photos backed up to another account in case your primary gets locked, deleted or whatever, but generally, one account works great.

I might be wrong but I recall reading somewhere that the Nougat update includes support for multiple Google accounts.
