There are plenty of reasons to make a google account other then gmail, like syncing chrome accross device or using google docs, and you get a gmail account whether you want it or not.
- herewulf 3y agoYes, but that doesn't mean you are forced to receive e-mail with it. I recently made a Google account to use Family Link so I could regulate what my kids do with their Chromebooks. I first tried the approach of making an account with a non-Google address and while this works for a lot of Google things, it didn't work for Family Link for whatever reason. So now we all have regular GMail accounts and haven't looked at the mail or used the address for a single other thing. Would be nice to not have to deal with all that but we're getting a lot of value out of the situation and the kids enjoy apps like Duolingo and Scratch Jr.
