I have two gmail accounts, and my youtube search and watch history for one account appears on the other one, so I want to disable this and keep the two accounts seperate but I didn't find how.
Any help?

Is it easy for people to find "public" google sheets/docs?
Context: Storing some semi-sensitive data (individual user info, of non-sensitive nature) for an app beta-test in google sheets. Planning to migrate to some DB in the future, but for now, just using JavaScript to pull the data directly from the google sheets (since there are visualizations being dynamically updated by the sheets).
Yes, it's easy to get information. Search engines may index and cache the information. Then, there are bots, crawlers and scrapers. Do NOT put (semi)sensitive information in public. Implement google-oauth properly with google-sheets-api to get information. You can also use service-accounts
Yes, it can be easily accessed.
According to the official Google article Share files from Google Drive: when you set your file's General Access setting to public:
Anyone can search on Google and get access to your file, without signing in to their Google account.
What you can do:
In the case of your app beta-test in google sheets data, you may want to reconsider to change your file's General Access setting to one of the following (in descending order of security):
Restricted - Only people that you manually give access to can view or edit your files. When you click the share button, a prompt will show and you may manually add the users who can view or edit your files:
Afterwards, you may select a role for those users and then they can be notified afterwards through email.
On the other hand, you can share the link to others. A prompt will show like the one below if you send the url through Google Chat:
You may opt to select Don't give access which will result in the following view on the other user's end:
This would mean that if unauthorized users get hold of the file URL, they will still need to send an access request. If other users submit the request, an email notification will be sent to your mail inbox. Other users who also own the file will also be notified by mail.
Your Organization - If you use a Google Account through work or school, anyone signed in to an account in your organization can open the file. If you are an administrator in a work or school workspace, you may set how members can share content within the organization. The administrator can prevent the sharing of content with group members outside your organization. If external sharing is prohibited, only group members who are in your organization can access the group's shared content.
Anyone with the link - Anyone who has the link can use your file, without signing in to their Google Account. This option is least recommended because if the URL is leaked to unauthorized users, they can easily access the file.

Don’t make it public unless you want the public to see it. Use oauth to access.
We have a Google Workspace account for our company using it mainly for Google Drive.
We want to switch our email system to Google aswell but I couldn‘t find a proper howto or explanation how to create info# or support# emails that are going to chosen members of our company.
How we can solve this? Groups? Aliases?
Would be good if all mails going to a certain mail, could be saved and stored aswell in an inbox.
Thank you
It seems that you're looking for a Google Workspace Group. Each Group has an email address which can be turned into a collaborative mailbox. Members of the group have access to this mailbox which can be tailored in many ways.
Detailed steps for creation are available here.
I'm using Google Apps for Business.
Currently I have two separate domains.
abc.com and xyz.com
Customer enquiries flow into each website separately. However, the staff who respond to enquiries are responsible for both websites.
For convenience,I have embedded each enquiry group inside my intranet.
I have two tabs, one for support#abc.com and another for support #xyz.com
However, only one group is viewable at a time, depending on whether my staff are logged in as staff#abc.com or staff#xyz.com
Ideally, I would like to change the current login session depending on which tab is clicked.
Basically, I want to be able to login to Google Apps without entering user/pass.
Is this possible?
Its not possible unless you save the password in the browser.
Really easy if you create two separate chrome users and log into chrome in both.
Voila.
So yes, this is not possible. I have solved the issue by creating a third domain and routing all enquiries through there. This way our staff members only need to be logged into a single account. Not what I was hoping for, but it certainly does the job.
We recently switched our team to Google Apps and with that, everyone got a Google Apps account . However, for those of us with a GMail account as well, this makes it so that bringing up Gmail in your browser opens up either your personal account or your Google apps account.
Even though GMail has multiple Sign-ins enabled for both of my accounts, I still have to spend time switching through both accounts.
I was wondering if there was a way to specify the account I wanted to use in the URL directly, which would allow me to create a bookmark for GMail for both of these accounts:
something like:
http://mail.google.com?a=firstaccount#gmail.com
http://mail.google.com?a=workaccount#googleappsdomain.com
I just don't believe anyone at Google has never thought of this! :-)
The same question applies to all of Google's services too I guess (docs, sites, etc...)
https://mail.google.com/a/googleappsdomain.com/
This works like a charm, with one exception: regular gmail.com accounts. https://mail.google.com/mail/ will direct you to the inbox for whichever account you logged in as first. My work around has been to make sure I log into my personal e-mail first (but this at least avoids having to log into the rest in a specific order).
For an access to multiple gmail adresse you can use this :
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth?continue=http://mail.google.com/gmail&service=mail&Email=yourname#gmail.com
I'm working on a GMail gagdget and am trying to access the current users ComanyName / Apps-Account-DomainName / ID. It has to be some ID thats unique for all users belonging to the same Google Apps Domain, for I like to display different content to different users beeing in the same Domain / Company.
Do you know if and how this is possible?
As far as I understand it, GMail sidebar gadgets are not able to access any of the current users data. They are just displayed within gmail, but don't interagate with it.
Unless you use OAuth to authenticate the user.
This for example shows how to get the users contacts:
http://gadget-doc-examples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/opensocial-gadgets/oauth-contacts.xml
Observing the code you will see, that it uses a feed to access this data:
http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/base?alt=json
So maybe my question is: "Which feed do I have to access to get the Google Apps domain of the user?" Otherwise: Is it possible at all?
This piece of code solved my problem:
var domain = gadgets.util.getUrlParameters()['parent'].match(/.+\/a\/(.+)\/html/)[1];
