  • Add me to this list. It's fricking annoying.

    So, @Velocio, are you going to set up a bog standard Gmail account to use as the primary one on your android devices? I'll be interested to hear how you get on...

  • Nah, it splits too much and removes a lot of the value of doing that too.

    That is... you cannot migrate data over (Maps, Fit, Drive, etc) but yet apps you install on another account will want to use that.

    If you try to go that route you end up with the worst of both worlds. Right now the two worlds are OK for different things, but trying both at once makes both shitty.

    I like how I fight spam and data leaks with throwaway email addresses, I like my custom email, I like my hundreds of GB of photos (going back to 1994) and having all my email in my Gmail (going back to 1996).

    I don't have a load of new things... but what I have works well. So presently... it's annoying, but not enough to force me to do anything about it.

  • That is exactly how I feel about my mashton.com Google Apps domain. It just pains to feel like a second class citizens when I am actually a heavy user of Google services and a semi early adopter.

    The world of technology: it never just works, does it?
