Allow applications to access your accounts online for photos,
contacts, calendars, and more.
Add an account
Adding an account will help link your online accounts with your GNOME
desktop. Thus, your email program, chat program and other related
applications will be set up for you.
-
Open the Activities overview and
start typing Online Accounts.
-
Click on Online Accounts to open the panel.
-
Select an account from the list on the right.
-
Select the type of account which you want to add.
-
A small website window or dialog will open where you can enter your
online account credentials. For example, if you are setting up a Google
account, enter your Google username and password. Some providers allow
you to create a new account from the login dialog.
-
If you have entered your credentials correctly, you will be prompted
to allow GNOME access to your online account. Authorize access to
continue.
-
All services that are offered by an account provider will be enabled
by default. Switch
individual services to off to disable them.
After you have added accounts, applications can use those accounts for
the services you have chosen to allow. See
for information on controlling which services to allow.
Many online services provide an authorization token which GNOME stores
instead of your password. If you remove an account, you should also revoke
that certificate in the online service. See
for more information.
