Hi

This might sound strange to some of you.
I have a yahoo email account created years ago.
Believe it or not it has Google Drive rclxub.gif tongue.gif
Probably back then got some kind of merge between Yahoo and Google.
I have no idea.

15GB
I do not recall how I uploaded the files into it.

Now I wish to access them but don't know how.

Did you try to login to Google Drive with your Yahoo email account ?

I suggest the opposite, first go to Google Drive homepage, and login with your Yahoo account.

I guess you connected google drive to your Yahoo mail last time. Just go to yahoo mail settings then connected service to see which Google account is connected.

So you received notifications on your Yahoo mail that your Google Drive is at a certain capacity?

I got emails from google too but cannot access looks like someone using my email to create google drive and use it and I cant access it at all.

I received such emails for my yahoo mail and outlook mail. Both google drive cannot access and also cannot recovered so Im thinking some using my email to create them.

If you register for a gmail address, by default you’re getting Google services.


You also could use Google services with non gmail address, this include gdrive.


Just login to google, and enter your yahoo email address, it should work.

I think so too. Because I did not recall uploading most of the files in the drive.

Need to change the password a.s.a.p

Strange isn't it? How can anyone use our emails when they don't know the password etc.
