Hi! I'm Chris Gardner, Your Tech Coach giving you Practical Help for Your Digital Life® since 1996. Now visit and click open the Advanced section, then click the link “Add Alternate Email” – that takes you to this URL: and a popup where you type in your Yahoo email address and click the Add link. Go to any Google web page and be sure you’re logged into your Google account. But often folks will send the invitation, not realizing that sharing Google Drive files and folders really only works between Google account users.Īdding your Yahoo email address to your existing Google account is pretty easy.

The person who sent you the invitation could have sent you a hyperlink to the Google drive file or folder, in which case you don’t even need a Google account in order to see it. Google allows you to have alternate email addresses tied to a single google account.


Is there a way I can get access to that folder without having to create another google account tied to that yahoo address? I have a google account with a gmail address, but the invitation was sent to my yahoo email address. I was sent an invitation to a google drive folder.
