Keep your Personal and School Accounts Separate!

A lot of people simply click "Add Account" and move on when they want to switch between their personal and school accounts, DON'T DO IT!!! Adding an account allows for switching between accounts quickly...but, it is not a great practice as your Google Drive, Gmail, and other Google services may become intertwined. Your personalized settings are also not separated in this instance, meaning that themes, bookmarks, passwords, and history will only be tied to the first account listed.  In order to avoid this confusion, people should set up two separate Chrome profiles.

1. Click the rectangle with your name on it in the upper right corner; click your name to open a drop-down menu.

2. Select “Switch person” and then select “Add Person” from the bottom of the window.

3. When this is selected, a new Chrome window will open, and a new Chrome sign-in page will be displayed. Log in with your second Google account, and all of your data will be synced to that profile.

In the future to switch accounts, click on the same rectangle and select “Switch Person,” choose your picture or the name of the account that you would like to access. This way you keep your personal web history, bookmarks, and passwords separated from the ones you use at school!
