Google OnLine Account HOW TO :(

[neogeo]

Hello.
I am trying and trying and trying to find a solution to create Google online account but without any success and always with error showing.
Is there any solution/way to do that? (KDE Plasma MX 21.2.1)

Thank in advance!

You're gonna need to give us some more info than that, like what error. Have you contacted google? Is this even an MX issue at all?

Are you trying to login to Google from a browser? Or some app in KDE?

I recently setup a Gnome system that asked for Google account credentials and integrated it with the Gnome calendar. Are you trying to do something similar in KDE?

As Eadwine says, we need more info.

With Google I have found that if you log in to any service, gmail probably most popular, then all others are auto logged in.

When you saying trying to create a Google online account which one are you referring to?

Hi.
I'm trying to create a Gmail, that is, a general Google account that implements several Google functions (email, calendar, images...).

You will need to go to google help for that, we're not google.

Some distros (like Linux MInt) have an "Online Account" functionality. Gnome has a functionality "gnome-online-accounts". Recently I saw an online accounts functionality integtrated in KDE's configuration center (I can't remember which distro). Maybe this is what neogeo is looking for?

I was wondering whether it is a good idea to use this regarding privacy. Obviously it depends on what this functionality does. Does anyone know?

I presume you want something like in Cinnamon(Linux Mint) or Gnome, with Online Account. There you can register with a Google account and have integration with email and calendar from the distro, which is really useful sometimes.
KDE doesn't have that here, at least in v. 5.20...it's been a while since I used KDE Neon, so I can't speak for the later versions.

Try installing kio-drive and then check Systems Settings -> Personalization -> Online Accounts
