Google: Turn Sync On/Off in the Chrome Browser

Environment

U-M Google, Google Chrome

Issue

How do I sync my bookmarks, browsing history, saved passwords, and other Chrome settings with my U-M Google account?

Resolution

Refer to the Google Help Center to learn more about turning on/off syncing for your U-M Google account and the Google Chrome browser.

Note: When you sign in to your U-M Google account through a Google service, like Gmail, you’ll be automatically signed in to Chrome. If you don’t want to ever sign in to Chrome, you can turn off Chrome sign-in.

Additional Information

Note: When creating a new profile with your U-M Google account, you may receive a notice stating, "Your organization will manage this profile." It is safe to click Continue. The notice simply acknowledges the account's status (managed by the University of Michigan) and does not change the account in any way or require your agreement. Learn more about the pop-up.
