I have 3 existing Projects. Do I need to select only one to register it as a Cloud Project? What will hapen to the other 2? Thanks

spatialthoughts commented 1 month ago

@karakostis You can create many cloud projects as you like. Each cloud project has certain APIs turned on and has a billing account associated with it. Whatever project you associate with GEE will get the Earth Engine API enabled in that project. If you are commercial user, your billing account associated with that project will get charged for your usage. If you plan to use GEE non-commercially, it is better to create a new project for it.

Thank you. So I can switch from one project to the other depending on which of my assets I need to use? If for example asset one is under project one then I switch to this project and if then I need to use an asset which is under project 2, then I have to switch to that one?

@karakostis In your Assets tab, you will see all projects which you have access to and can use the assets from there. While technically you can have many cloud projects enabled with GEE account, an individual non-commercial user would migrate their legacy account to a single cloud project registered with GEE for non-commercial usage.

Multiple projects makes sense if you have a large team where you can enable different cloud projects with different levels of access for each user. If Project A has 10 users, all assets in that project are available to all of them. Folks with write access to that project can create assets and others with read access can use assets.

Here's a screenshot of my GEE account. I have linked my account with a cloud project spatialthoughts which I own. I worked on a collaborative book project where the administrator created a cloud project and all authors in the book were given write access to a shared project where we can export the assets and use common assets.
