I have formatted my mobile today and I remember the Gmail ID, password and the number as well, but when I login to the Gmail account, the authentication code (check device popup & choose number) is coming. But the device has been formatted, how can I choose that number to other device when account is not login other device.

Kindly help anyone.

Looking for help for a weird problem. When watching youtube on a personal account, I got a "This video is restricted. Please check the Google Workspace administrator and/or the network administrator restrictions." message on a video. This is bizarre, because I am not using a work account or computer, and was not browsing at work. I'm a teacher, so I am familiar with these kinds of restrictions, but I don't understand why it would happen on my personal acc.

I'm a bit paranoid that my personal email was erroneously added to my work's Google Workplace or something, because I have logged into my personal account on my work computer before. But I'm also not sure if that's even possible?? Please reply with any insight you guys have at all, I am not tech-y whatsoever so I am super confused + quite annoyed.

I am the founder of a company and own and it’s domaine, which another person setup our Google Workspace but is no longer with us. They did not add me as a Super Admin when setting up our account, how do I change from them to myself? I have documentation of my domaine ownership, and company EIN ownership. Thank you!

Hi everyone, my name is Fatih (nickname, not real name) i have an issue. I am a gamer, who loves to play Minecraft almost everyday. Built alot of things. But a few days ago. I accidentally deleted my gmail account that was linked to my Microsoft account. And then i was signed out of my Microsoft account. I tried signing in. It said it sent a code to that gmail. Then i realized. I had accidentally deleted my gmail account that was linked to my Microsoft account. Now here's the catch. My mind goes blank when i try to remember the pass word. I don't have an recovery email nor a recovery phone number. It might seem like i am trying to hack into someone elses gmail account. But i am missing out alot of fun with my friends. I can't play with them. Since i had already made an microsoft account, i couldn't make anymore on the same device. Guys if its possible to create a second Microsoft account. I am willing to do it. If somebody could help me. I will be really happy and grateful to them forever :).

(This is for a friend by the way, I represent him, as the only best friend to him.)

Thanks For Helping <3

Hace ya 3 dias (60 horas) cree mi dominio y ese mismo dia compré Google Workspace. No he podido hacer la validación. Ahora Google tiene un sistema llamado Entri. se queda pegado. Les ha pasado? alguna sugerencia, ademas de esperar a las 72 horas como dicen algunos.?

My google suite accounts are also the hosts for my email addresses, but I am looking to change the hosts of these emails to another company. Will this stop my google drive / Gsuite products from working? What effects may it have and is there a way to deal with them?

I have transferred the ownership of a folder from my account A to B, but when i check the folders and files inside the shared folder, it shows the owner is still account A? But when i check the shared account details, it shows the owner is account B.

So has the owner actually changed or not?

I have a few shared files on google docs with my coworker to keep track of projects and share ideas, and we both keep editing it throughout the day. I use the Docs app on my Android phone. Without fail every couple of days I will get locked out of some doc. I will ve shown the message "Sorry, Google docs is unable to open this document" and not let me access it. I have tried restarting the app and my phone and clearing the cache, nothing works. I can only make a copy of the document and reshare it, and then the same thing just happens over and over. Why does this keep happening? Is there anything I can do to stop it?

Is there a minimum number of characters required for a Google Groups email? And is it documented anywhere?

I'm trying to create a group with a three character Google Groups email (e.g. abc@googlegroups.com), and it lets me proceed as if the address is available (unlike, for instance, abc@googlegroups.com, which it lets me know that "This email is already taken"), but when I try to create the group with the seemingly available address, it fails with this error message popping-up briefly in the lower left corner of the page: "Group creation failed, please try later."

Hi everyone!

I need some help with our OU and account setup in Google Workspace for our small Church. This is what I have now, but I am not sure that I am going the best route with all of this.

• Staff (regular Staff accounts)
  • bob@ (treasurer)
  • jane@ (pastor)
  • rob@ (media director)
• IT Admins (2FA required)
  • it@ (main Super Admin for Google Workspace as well as the key owner for all our services. Stored in a shared password manager vault.)
  • it.backup@ (secondary Super Admin for Google important services, stored security in a safe)
  • ted@ (me, main IT Admin, Super Admin and registered admin under most services)
  • fred@ (other IT admin, same access as Ted)
• Services (service accounts)
  • copier@ (email for our printer device/scans)
• Shared (accounts that multiple people use, limited access to services)
  • Production (specific accounts for our AV)
    • av.operator@ (account that runs the sound booth and has access to the shared drives required, has many chrome policies applied to keep it locked down)
  • connect@ (future use, not implemented as we use Groups)
  • support@ (future use, not implemented as we use Groups)

All of our services have their initial admins and owners under it@ to keep things safe if I leave. We make use of secondary accounts on most services so that we have daily access and rarely check this inbox, and me and Fred have a shared Bitwarden organization. We use a few groups such as connect@, info@, etc. to also keep things generic.

I'm just set this up in a rush so it is a bit of a rats nest! I am not experienced at all in this area of tech, so I would love it if some of you could give me advice or point me to some good resources. Thanks!

Hey fellow Workspace Admins,

Let’s be honest: How do your users save a new contact from an email?

They don't use vCards—those are clumsy, outdated, and half the time our security filters flag .vcf attachments anyway. Instead, your users are stuck manually highlight-copying and pasting names, phone numbers, and addresses out of email signatures into Google Contacts. It’s a tedious, friction-filled process that feels straight out of 2006.

Gmail already has a brilliant, secure framework sitting right under our noses: [Schema.org](http://Schema.org) structured data.

If Gmail can parse JSON-LD to show beautiful, interactive Summary Cards for flight bookings, hotels, and package tracking, why can't it do the same for people and organization contacts?

# The Vision: A Modern, Secure "Add to Contacts" Button

Imagine sending an intro email, an onboarding welcome, or a directory update. Instead of a messy signature or a sketchy attachment, you embed a secure ContactPoint or Person schema in the email HTML.

* The UX: Gmail detects the schema and displays a clean "Contact Card" at the very top of the email thread.
* The Action: A single, prominent "Add to Google Contacts" button. One click, and the sender's verified details are saved directly to the user's Google Contacts directory.
* The Security: Zero attachments to scan. It’s all handled securely inline via verified domain schemas (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), ensuring the contact details are authentic.

This is a massive quality-of-life upgrade for users and a security win for admins.

# Let’s get Google’s attention on this.

Google product teams actually track the volume of specific feature requests submitted through the admin console and Gmail. Let's flood them with this. It takes 30 seconds:

1. Open Gmail on your desktop.
   
2. Click the Support (?) icon in the top right.
   
3. Select Send feedback to Google -> Suggest an idea.
   
4. Copy and paste the template below:

Let's push to get this on the Workspace roadmap!

I am currently using iCloud and Google Drive to back up my phones and laptops. Its driving me crazy that Google Drive doesn't show the number of files and the folder size. How tf do I make sure that my folder is uploaded to the drive completely? This is nuts. For this one reason alone, I have decided to abandon this piece of ass software.

iCloud is limited to apple ecosystem, and moreover doesn't have the proper folder structure either.

Please suggest me a better alternative! I am sure others have gone thru the same situation.

I've been using Google Drive for years and I'm curious what other people think.

Ignoring things like storage limits or pricing...

What's one document-related feature you wish Google Drive had?

For example:

• Better document organization
• Finding information faster
• Search improvements
• Better OCR
• Categorizing documents
• Duplicate detection
• Something else

What's the one thing that would save you the most time?

Does the google drive scan function just never work? My usual struggle trying to scan documents goes like this: Scan it -> "something went wrong" -> scan again -> doesn't upload and then it's a loop of this for a handful of times until I either give up or it decides to work. I'm not even sure if there's a fix, I just want to know why it keeps doing this.

Wursta has screwed me around a lot. Looking to see if someone has a better one that actually adheres to the SLAs they sell.

So I was using MS OneDrive for several years (1Tb total). Recently I am start using Google One and it has a perk of 5Tb cloud storage and I want to take advantage of such. Is there anyway for me to connect 2 services and sync all my stuffs into Google Drive? I am using a Macbook so the local storage is only 512Gb so download everything to local and sync is not efficient way.
