I want to save the history. Disabling everything is not a choice.
I just use the same google account on my work PC and on my private PC. When I click into the search bar of a new tab, it shows me a dropdown of recent searches - including private searches from yesterday evening. When I share my screen, my colleagues see this and might think that I've been looking for all this during work time.
How can I fix this? Do I need seperate accounts for work/private?
Yeah perhaps considering getting a separate account as manually clicking 'remove' for each search term in the drop-down can be consuming or the other option is to go to search history in google settings and clear for 'all-time'

This morning, I was writing in a Google doc of some notes that are very important to our business. Something was wrong with my keyboard, it was emitting wrong characters, and it must have selected and erased everything, I guess. When I came back this afternoon, the doc was there, but empty.
I open the doc now, and ^Z or Edit -> Undo doesn't seem to do anything. I can open things like Version History, or (clicking on the File in Google Drive), Details and Activity. But none of them show anything but the current empty version. They show when previous activity happened, but not how to get those versions.
What can be done to get this file back? Thanks much.
I was able to get it back! What I had been doing wrong: Using Opera instead of Chrome. Opera showed the versions, but no arrow on the left to click on to get them back.
I saw instructions on Google Forums to clear cache, so I did that too; don't know if it helped.
How to remove istartsurf from chrome?
Context: I've installed a bunch of extensions after a day I got "istartsurf" as my main search engine in chrome which sends the search to their server and then redirects the search to google making it seem like you searched on google from the start. It takes a split second then you only see google.com in the address bar.
I've installed
chrome extensions: Requestly, Toby for Chrome
apps: Java, JDK, postgresql.
Can anyone relate to this? as I want to narrow done the source of this.
For Chrome you need to go to settings > Search engine
For Search engine used in the address bar set Google (or whatever you want)
For Manage search engines go through to the lists and remove anything suspicious.
Similar should be done for other browsers.
If this goes deeper (registry or something else) please let me know so I can update the answer.
I'm using multiple Google accounts. In one of them (not default) I created Google Spreadsheet file and I want to create Script connected to it. Nothing complicated. But the problem is that after clicking Tools > Script Editor I'm being redirected to default user or I see this screen:
The same problem I have when trying to use: script.google.com
What can I do to enable Script editor?
I know you asked this 9 months ago, but here is my solution;
Sign out of all google accounts except the owner of the spreadsheet
You can now access the scripts and macros pages (go there)
Create a bookmark of them (this saves which profile is logged in)
Now sign back into all your profiles
Voila!
You will be able to access the scripts or macros via the bookmarks without getting the error page.
This is a reported bug.
Go give it a ☆ if you want to let Google know that this affects you.
You can consider appending authuser=email to the URL to open the script with a specific Google account.
For example, script.google.com...?param=value&authuser=email#example.com
I was not able to reproduce the problem. Perhaps it's a glitch or there is something wrong that requires some troubleshooting techniques that are off-topic on this site.
As a workaround, for the account having problems, use another Google Chrome profile, Incognito mode, or another browser.
By the other hand, it's possible that there isn't any wrong and it's just something related to your specific scenario.
From Sign in to multiple accounts at once
Sometimes settings might carry over
If you're signed in to multiple accounts at the same time, sometimes we can't tell which
account you're using. For example, if you're signed in to two accounts
and you open a new browser window, we aren't sure which account you
want to use. In cases like these, Google might apply settings from
your default account, like its Web & App Activity and Ads
Personalization settings.
google's default account (the first one you sign on with) has to be the owner of the sheet
Based on #iansedano's answer, you can share the file with the default chrome user and open the same link in a new tab again to resolve the issue.
If someone needs a quick fix for this :
At the end of the url change the "authuser=1" by the index of the Google Account you want to log with. (0 is the first one, 1 is the second)

You can also open a new incognito window, paste your sheet url there (you'll need to authenticate). Then you can open Tools -> Script Editor
I've been a passive StackOverflow user for more than a decade now. I don't really think this is the place to ask this but Google Developers Help page referred me here.
Adwords has been updating to a beta version and I'm a heavy user of its Scripts console, but recently, when I want to ad a new script with the big red button, it starts loading and then this message displays: "There was a problem loading the script. Please try again later"
I've already tried with Chrome and Safari, a cookieless browser and with a different account and nothings seems to work. I also Google the error and there is nothing. I don't think I'm the only person experiencing this, do you have any solution?
I couldn't reproduce your problem and was able to create scripts—however, I've noticed quite a lot of bugs in the new web interface (to be fair, they say it's still in beta).
But as a workaround, just use the Return to previous AdWords link in the three dot option menu, which will take you back to the old interface. I could well imagine that you'll be able to add a new script there.
I'm following https://developers.google.com/drive/web/manage-sharing#launching_the_google_drive_sharing_dialog_in_your_app to add a "Sharing" dialog to my Drive app.
It works perfectly when the user is logged into gmail with a single Google account. If they log in to gmail with a second account, the ShareClient in my app no longer works. Instead, it says "Sharing is unavailable at this time."
To be clear, the change happens after interacting only with gmail, NOT with my app. I guess the problem happens because the share dialog doesn't know which user to default to.
Does anyone have a way to make this work? I would be happy to specify a google id, but ShareClient doesn't seem to have any settings exposed besides appId.
This is an issue we are currently aware of and will fix.
There isn't really a good way for you to work around it at the moment, so hang tight until we address it.
