This is tech tip #6 in a series that was originally started for the Senior School. I am now sending them out schoolwide in the hopes that they may be of use. For previous tips, see the blog link below.
One of the useful features of the Google Chrome browser is that you can “log into it” and then share favourites, apps, extensions and more between computers/devices.
One problem with this, however, is that many of us have a personal Google account as well as our SMUS one. For example, I have both mhjackson123@gmail.com and michael.jackson@smus.ca as google addresses. If someone shares a document with my SMUS address, this does not get shared to my non-SMUS one and vice versa.
If someone sends you a shared document and you are unable to access it, the chances are that you are logged in with the wrong account.
To change which account is signed into Chrome, you can follow the instructions here: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/165139?hl=en
By the way, these tips are now being archived at the following location in a blog format: http://smustechtips.blogspot.ca/ - let me know if this is of any use.
