Direct Links to Multiple Google Accounts

I have a few different Google accounts that I use regularly. For Gmail, I mostly have it set up to send email from one inbox. However, there are times when I want to open up a specific inbox without having to open up the main account, click my address, and then click my other account. The same thing applies for multiple calendars, drive/docs, etc.

I set up some bookmarks to directly link to the accounts and here are the formats.

In all cases, you need to be signed in to each of your accounts. And the order you signed in matters. The number (0, 1, 2) corresponds to the order in which you signed in (starting at 0)

Here is the format of the URLs:

Gmail:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0 (or just https://mail.google.com)
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2

Google Calendar:
https://www.google.com/calendar?tab=mc&authuser=0
https://www.google.com/calendar?tab=mc&authuser=1
https://www.google.com/calendar?tab=mc&authuser=2

Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/?tab=mo&authuser=0
https://drive.google.com/?tab=mo&authuser=1
https://drive.google.com/?tab=mo&authuser=2

Google Calendar - When Was That Event Created?

Usually I don't care, but occasionally I need to know when I created an event on my Google Calendar. It is not the easiest piece of information to find, but it is out there and here is how you find it.

1. Go to Settings (Calendar Settings) > Calendars tab
2. Select (click on) the calendar with the event you want
3. Under the Private Address, click on the ICAL icon
4. The address will pop up, just save and open that file
5. In your editor, just search for the name of the event.
6. Look for the CREATED attribute. There is also a LAST-MODIFIED attribute if you are interested in that.
