Creating a Google Account linked to your existing email
1. Head to google.com.
2. At the top right hand corner of the page, click "Sign in."
If you're already logged into a Google account, then you don't need to worry about this guide. You already have a Google account! Simply send that email over to Tim so he can add you to the Drive.
3. At the bottom left hand corner of the panel that is displayed, click "Create account."
Then, click "For myself."
4. You will be brought to this screen. Before filling it out, click on "Use my current email address instead."
Then, fill out the fields as normal, using your existing email for "Your email address."
Enter a verification code and phone number if necessary.
6. Continue to fill out the required fields.
7. Complete the account creation process by agreeing to the terms of service. Once your account has been created, you can access Google Drive by heading to drive.google.com.
