Gmail – How to prevent Google from killing access to sister/brother sites

gmailgooglegoogle-drivegoogle-translate

My free portfolio on google.com allows me partial functionality on some accounts.

For instance:

  • It allows me to use the Google Mail account almost without a hitch (at times Hangouts will simply keep trying to connect even though mail are sent, and the reply received);
  • Any attempt to log on directly to the Google Drive has the browser refresh recurrently until the browser is closed;
  • I may log on into the translate.google.com. Yet my attempt to navigate to any of the relevant links (Translator toolkit, Website Translator, Global Market Finder) immediately demands that I log on again, taking me to the /translate_t page from where my attempt to navigate to any of and so on ad infinitum!

My environment is as follows:

  • OS: Windows 7
  • Browser: IE 10

Here's what I hope to find out:

  • Is this a common problem with the free Google portfolio?
  • How do I prevent Google from killing my access to sister/brother sites?

Some Google services use top country domains as the default for users out of the US while others don't. Some of these pages don't share the sign in status (use different cookies) with pages with different top country domain.

I.E. I'm in Mexico:
- when I follow a link to any Blogger article, the URL's domain changes to blospot.com.mx.
- when I go to www.google.es, usually the sign in button is displayed.
