# Multiple Google Accounts

> Connect multiple Google accounts to Orbis to sync emails, calendars, and contacts across all your inboxes.

Orbis supports up to **5 Google accounts** per workspace. Adding a second (or third) account means emails, calendar events, and contacts from all connected accounts are synced into a single view.

## Why connect multiple accounts

* **Separate work and personal inboxes** — see all relationship activity in one place regardless of which account you used
* **Multiple business emails** — if you use different Google accounts for different roles or companies
* **Shared team accounts** — connect a shared inbox so the whole team's correspondence is tracked

## Adding an account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connected Accounts">
    Go to **Settings → Connected Accounts**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add Account">
    Click **Add Account**. You're redirected to Google's sign-in page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with a different Google account">
    Choose or sign into the Google account you want to add. Make sure you're not selecting the account already connected — Google will show all your signed-in accounts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant permissions">
    Review and accept all requested permissions. Declining any permission results in limited functionality for that account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to Orbis">
    Google redirects you back to Orbis. The new account appears in your **Connected Accounts** list. Syncing starts immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Primary account

Your first connected account is automatically set as **Primary**. The primary account is used by default when composing new emails or creating calendar events.

To change your primary account, click **Set Primary** next to any connected account in **Settings → Connected Accounts**.

## How multiple accounts work across Orbis

### Inbox

Threads from all connected accounts appear together in the Inbox. Use the **Account** filter in the toolbar to focus on a single account's threads.

When composing or replying, use the **From** dropdown to choose which account to send from.

### Calendar

Events from all connected accounts appear on the same calendar. Use the calendar selector to show or hide specific accounts' calendars.

When creating a new event, choose which account's calendar to save it to using the calendar dropdown.

### Contacts

Google Contacts from each account are imported and matched against your Orbis contacts. If the same person exists in multiple Google accounts, Orbis merges the data into a single contact record.

## Removing an account

Go to **Settings → Connected Accounts**, click the **...** menu on the account, and choose:

* **Disconnect** — stops syncing but preserves existing data
* **Remove Account & All Data** — permanently deletes all synced data from that account

<Warning>
  You cannot disconnect your only active Google account. Add another account first, or the disconnect option will be unavailable.
