Wow, mate, no I hadn't, thank you so much for locating that. 76 replies, big issue, exactly like I am seeing. I don't know if their is prescedent for solving somehting like this quickly. Thanks again Galactic Zoo

It does work well, this is the first issue I have had. I didn't know they did not treat it as flagship, we've been there before, Google Notebook, Reader, etc. But again, Nothing I have read about Google Family tells me there is a restriction on the number of google accounts. I'll look now for a...

By separate sign in you are just talking about accessing via the browser as opposed to switching accounts I think. I personally have 5 google account setup on my Android 10 phone. I have 2 setup on another old tablet we have. I don't see why I can't set up 2 google accounts on my daughter's...

The way Google family works, we are using 2 parent account, so when anything is installed on a child account a parent needs to approve. So when I am installing on her machine, it comes up to pick a parent account, so I sign into mine I then essentially have full permissions on her tablet.

This is infuriating. Is there any value in the solution back in '15 of reinstalling Google play services?

I tried this last night. At my work I got a 4G signal on my phone and tethered off that, I then went through the add Google account steps and I got the same can't communicate with Google servers message.

I can confirm that yes, adding a new Gmail is the same as adding a new google account. Unfortunately, it also gives the exact same error: Couldn't sign in There was a problem communicating with Google servers Try again later

Apologies, my comment was for mustang7757 not you. I can maybe try and go into my work tonight when the building is empty and try the wi-fi there but it does seem like a long shot!

Sorry not understanding. This is not a gmail thing but google docs. There's only 1 problem account.

Thanks for help. Just double checking I was adding a google account here not just gmail. What do you mean both?

No VPN on her tablet or no smart dns stuff on the router. No problem adding the same google account on my Android 10 phone.

Thank you very much. https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/997198-server-connection-error-adding-second-google-account.html#post6763588

My daughter's laptop is a Lenovo Tab E7 7 running Android 8.1, as far as I can tell it has 32-bit architecture if that's relevant. We have a standard gmail set up in it via google family. She has got a school email address which they use for google apps, When I try and add this second google...
