I have two Google accounts, my main one which is used for Drive (formerly Docs), Calendar and also a lot of 3rd party apps via the 'login with Google' feature.
The other Google account I use for my email on Gmail (although the account is under a custom domain running on Google Apps for Business).
The problem I'm having is that although I can have multiple accounts signed in a browser when you move between products it tends to stick in the same account. So if I'm using account-A for Drive, and I switch to Gmail, it stays in account-A (even though account-A doesn't have Gmail set up).
I then have to change to account-B in the top right corner. Is there a way to specify a default account for different products?
In other words,
-
use account-A for Drive and Calendars
-
use account-B for Gmail

A trick I use is to define a bookmark in my bookmarks bar for each of my various Google services. From my experience, Google services enumerate the user account in the URL, so https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox will take you to account 0's inbox, https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox to account 1's and so on. The trick is that you have to sign into your Google accounts in a consistent order as 0 is the account that you first signed into, 1 is the second, etc.
For example, I use:
Sometimes it gets out of sync if my login sessions expire, but in that case, I can just log out of all accounts and re-login in the correct order.
