Consolidating and splitting contacts between Google accounts because of family affairs has been on my wish list for a long time.
Somehow this is far more difficult than I expected.
So here is a link dump that hopefully will help me later on.

Some notes on synching Google Drive data that other accounts shared with you
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/17
In the past (pre-2020) syncing shared Google Drive content was easy: Google Backup & Sync was still there and the web-UI of Google Drive was straightforward.
Syncing is important for me as it allows off-line working. Not all places have 24/7 internet access and not all cloud services are up 24/7.
So in 2020, with the mandatory (and often failing!) migration of Google Backup and Sync to Google Drive File Syncing and the new web-UI, things became a lot harder: Workaround to add a Shared With Me folder to your Google Drive (Google made this a lot harder in 2020).
Further into 2022 I discovered that way had become impossible for:
- new shares
- old shares that you had not set up syncing for
Old shares that you had set up syncing for kept working, and I hope they will for a long time, but I doubt they will.
Note this is not about free vs paid Google Drive data: the new situation fails for both cases.
For new shares or old shares you have not set up syncing for there basically seem to be two solutions, neither of them which is nice:

Google 2FA “Sorry, we can’t fulfill this request at this time. Please try again later or use a different phone number.”
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/14
A while ago while first securing a bunch of accounts with a phone number, then later replacing them with 2FA hardware, I got this error message:
Sorry, we can’t fulfill this request at this time. Please try again later or use a different phone number.
This seems to have to do with the fact that if have gotten about 10 2FA messages a day, then it cannot be used to add a new phone number to an account. The phone number still can be used to verify existing accounts where the phone number was already registered.
Retrying after 24 hours usually works.
