Gmail requires an account creation process before it can be used. For each person, an account; however, multiple Gmail accounts can be created for one person. The reason for several account creation differs from one person to another. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need more than just one account, this is a tutorial on how to create.

Why Create Multiple Gmail Accounts?

A Gmail can be used to store files and send multimedia files of different sizes with maximum protection. This ability is enhanced by its storage capacity, and anti-virus or anti-malware software. However, the reasons why you would need more than 1 Gmail account are:

- Professional and Personal Use

One of the main reasons why you may want to open multiple accounts is to separate business from pleasure. Sometimes, there are emails you would need to send to or receive from corporate bodies. If you use a personal account, the chances that it won't be regarded are high. On the other hand, you could want to send emails out to friends and family; using a professional Gmail would make it look too official. At least, everyone should have 2 accounts to run either purpose. Most importantly, you should pay attention to the format of the name when creating both accounts.

- To Avoid Messiness

Too many emails from various sources could make your account look messy and uncomfortable. Imagine getting emails from online stores, corporate bodies, newsletters, and so on, on the same account, not to mention having to read them all. With multiple accounts for designated purposes, you can change the way your inbox looks.

For instance, you could create one for professional purposes, another for personal use, and the last for newsletters or customer services. Fortunately, all of them can be managed on the same device. This account division will help you know what to check when you open the Gmail app.
