Chrome Extension for Switching Google Account in Web Apps

Download and install from the Chrome Store | Firefox Store

What does the extension do ?

This extension is for people using multiple Google accounts in their browser. It often becomes a hassle switching between the different accounts for various Google apps like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Play Music, Google Drive etc. This extension gives you the ability to switch across accounts seamlessly using keyboard shortcuts in Chrome.

So google gives logged in accounts numbers: 0, 1, 2... image

So the extension makes use of that numbering.

To switch to say account number 2, you have to press Alt + 2 once you have already opened any of the supported google apps mentioned above.

Say you have gmail account 0 open, you can press Alt+2 to open the gmail account associated with account 2.

To Setup manually

  1. Download the latest release in zip format from the releases page of the repo.
  2. Open Manage Extensions page in chrome settings.
  3. Turn on developer mode on top right corner
  4. Unzip the downloaded file
  5. Select the option "Load Unpacked" and select the unzipped folder that you got.

Customization

You can change the shortcut key from default Alt + <num> to any preferred shortcut key. Change them on chrome://extensions/shortcuts
