Google Plus Accounts being phased out?
I received this in the email today:
rel="Lightbox"?attachmentid=117841&stc=1&d=1549061231" border="0" alt="" class="tcattdimgresizer" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /> Has anybody else received one of these? I hope they're not getting rid of Gmail. As near as I can tell, it sounds like they're ditching the "plus" feature that ties your Google account to Facebook and Youtube etc., but that's not such a big deal. Thanks! |

Google+ was basically Google's attempt at social networking. Nobody used it so they are shutting it down. It won't affect Mail or Drive at all.

Only thing you have to worry about is if you posted or saved content specifically to a Google+ page [vacation photos, memes, shared documents, etc], like if you'd posted it at Facebook. For instance, AFAICT, I signed up for it when it started, logged in, and never went back once ever. So there's nothing for me to monitor or retrieve. But as the email points out, you can have Google+ bundle all your personal content and make you a .zip download if you are worried. |

who knows? It was years ago and I never went there. Might have entered a email and password, might have automatically been enrolled. Can't remember.
