Change Google account

Ask for Help

Hi, I wanted to ask if it’s possible to change the Google account where the Google Sheets the app relies on are stored. I basically hacked a small app that pulls some data from a Google Sheets file with multiple pages, but now it would be better to store that file in another account. I’ve already copied the file to the new account, but I don’t know how to get the app to read the data from the new account’s file. Any help? Thanks.

If you want the new email to have complete ownership of the app, I would suggest:

  • Create a private template from the old app.
  • Save the template link in your clipboard.
  • Log out of the old account and into your new account.
  • Access the template link, copy it to the team where you need it to be.
  • Go to Settings > Data > Data Sources and replace the current Google Sheet with your Google Sheet.

If possible, I would suggest moving as much data/logic to Glide Tables as possible to get the best performance out of your app.

By doing this I would have to change my Glide account and I don’t want to do that I would just like (if possible) to have it linked to another Google account Thanks

In that case, as long as your Glide email has access to edit the underlying Sheet, I think that works fine.

Sorry to bring up this old post, but I still haven’t figured out how to connect the app to a Google Sheet with another account. I’ll try to explain better, or I created the app using a Google Sheet from my personal account. (I’ve already copied my account’s sheet to a new account.) I’d like the app to connect to the new account’s sheet. But I can’t find a solution. I have a Maker subscription. Thanks for any help.

So is it correct to say that you want the existing app to connect to the copied sheet?

The “Google authorization” you have for Glide ties with your old email, but it seems you don’t want to give access to the copied sheet to your old email.

I think most straightforward way is to create a new Glide account with your new email, make the old app a private template, copy that template to the new account’s team, and re-link that copied app to the copied Google Sheet.
