1. Multiple google accounts and being told I'm logged into the wrong one when I follow a link from an email.
2. Google wants me to use their web-based calendar instead of my desktop one.
Synchronising multiple calendars is a pain in the ass: I want people at each company I work for to be able to see whether I am free, but I hate filling my calendar six times. I've got some applescript that helps me using the Mac calendar, but it feels like the two companies I do that are google-apps based always break randomly and require some random touchups.
3. Timezones. I travel very often and I want to see my daily-diary with the local team, but there's no easy way to say "this week in EST"
- joatmon-snoo 10y agoOh god #1 100% Very few Google services, I think, are reminded that people can be signed into multiple accounts simultaneously during the design phase.
- fiddlerwoaroof 10y agoGoogle drive/docs is the worst offender here. Not only do they not automatically determine which account you want, but they force you to sign out of your google account to access a second non-G-suite account's calendar.
- kfrzcode 10y ago1, 2 and 2.5 are all huge pain points for me. I have three Google accounts and just resort to keeping about 16 calendars on one account.
