Question
How do I separate my work, student, and personal Gmail accounts?
Information
Creating a separate Google Chrome profile will allow you to easily separate your work and personal browsing information, accounts, and bookmarks.
Resolution
When signing into a new Google Account, Chrome will automatically prompt you to create a new profile.
Note: Student GRCC emails are not able to login as a profile in chrome. Users will get an error message, either "Your organization doesn't allow you to sign in with this account" or "Your organization doesn't allow you to turn on sync with this account"
Create a Google Chrome profile for each account
Steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Google Chrome.
- At the top right of the browser, click the Profile button (represented by your initial or a user icon).
- Click Add.
- If you choose to Sync to your Google Account, your profile name will automatically be set to your Account name.
- Choose a name, photo, and color scheme to help differentiate your profiles.
Switch to another person or profile
- On your computer, open the Google Chrome browser.
- At the top right, click the Profile icon.
- Choose the person or profile you want to switch to from the list.
