  18. How do I access Google Apps?

  19. Multiple Google Accounts? • Google accounts cannot be merged • You cannot transfer file ownership across domains • So, if you want to move OSU work files from a personal Google account: • Download those files to your computer • Then upload to Google Apps for OSU

  20. Group / Office Accounts? • Google Apps for OSU accounts are associated exclusively with individual ONID accounts • Thus, group or office accounts are not possible at the present time • More flexible provisioning should be possible following implementation of OSU's "Identity Management" solution in mid-2014
