Ever had a colleague invite you to collaborate on a Google Doc using your work email and get prompted to request access using your gmail account? To avoid this, you can create a Google account using your work email (e.g. @xyzcorp.com) instead of the default @gmail.com or subscribing to GSuite. When your work email is a Google account, you can use it to login wherever there is a prompt for a Google account (Google Drive, Google SSO Login - Gitlab, Trello, Airtable, Jira, Clubhouse, etc.).
In your browser, set to Incognito mode and go to https://drive.google.com
-
Click on Create account -> For myself
-
Click on “Use my current email address instead” and type your work email. Fill in the other fields, then click on next.
After doing this, your work email is now a Google account and you can be invited to collaborate on other Google services.
