The tragedy with Google is that it doesn’t allow sync of multiple Drive accounts. You either need to share files and folders from each account to another one. In that way you could sync the same file on multiple accounts.

Once sync between two Google Drive accounts setup is made, any changes in that file or folder will resonate across all Google Drive accounts. To test this method, I created a folder and set of files on one Google Drive account. Then I wanted to check whether they are in sync on other Google Drive accounts.

For example, Google Drive Accounts say Think1, Think2, Think3 etc all should have the same content in the synced files and folders. Google does not stop you from creating multiple Google Drive accounts. So officially there is no risk in creating many accounts. But make sure they are secure with strong encryption and 2FA methods.

Why do People Want Multiple Google Drive Accounts?

Google Account profiles are different based on their age and demographics. One user want a separate account for personal use, office use, storing images, videos, documents, What’s app backup, data etc. We unknowingly create multiple Google accounts and with each one comes Google Drive service.

But certain part of that data has to be in sync across all the Drive accounts. For example, office files to work at home, school, cafe, office etc. For security purposes, you may need multiple Google Drive accounts for each location.

But, the changes need to be sync across accounts and devices. For that purpose, we need sync of multiple Google Drive accounts. At Least some files and folders.
