"Moreover, people you invite to projects must be Gmail or Google App users"
Potentially a deal-breaker for us. We had a LOT of issues accessing various Google services after switching from Google Apps to Office 365, which is cheaper and includes the office suite which the rest of the world use.
- pmontra 10y agoJust create accounts for logging in into GCP? They don't have to really use gmail or be logged in into Google all the time. They could use a separate browser for GCP. I'm doing that when I have to use Google Drive.
- fulafel 10y agoJust the linkage into a Google account is still a liability: last time I tried to register with an employer email address, the process failed and further registration attempts with that email address were blocked. And there was no number to call.
- oaktowner 10y agoGoogle PM here. That's not exactly right. You need a Google account, but it does not need to have gmail attached to it. Yes, lots of people don't know such a thing exists...but it's easy to set up. On the "standard" Google account creation page is a link that says something like "I prefer to use my current email address." As long as you have an email address that Google can validate, it's fine to use that instead of a gmail address.
