Does deleting a Google account delete docs?
Deleting your account means that you will lose all of your data and content, including emails, files, calendars, and photos. You will also not be able to use any Google services where you sign in with that account.
If you delete your Google account, all your documents stored in that account will also be deleted. They will be inaccessible in any other account you’ve shared them with. However, you can use Google’s “Download Your Data” tool to transfer your documents to another account.

We take data security and privacy very seriously at our company. That’s why we have a comprehensive process for deleting data from our servers.

We want our users to have peace of mind knowing that their data is completely gone from our servers.

Can someone see your Google accounts if you shared a Google Doc?
Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are private by default. This means that only you can see and access the content you save in these apps. If you want to share your content with others, you’ll need to explicitly share it with them. You can do this by sending them a link to the file, or by giving them edit, comment, or view permissions. Keep in mind that anyone you share your content with will be able to see, edit, or delete it, depending on the permissions you give them. If you want to stop sharing your content with others, you can revoke their permissions at any time. Remember, though, that anyone with a copy of the file will still be able to see and access it.
If you’re the owner of a file, others can view it until you permanently delete it. If you’re not the owner, others can see the file even if you empty your trash.
Can you transfer all Google Docs to another account
When you transfer ownership of a file, the new owner will be able to access, edit, and share the file. The original owner will no longer have access to the file.
The owner of a Google Doc does not get notified when someone makes a copy of the document. However, if the person who makes the copy chooses to share the document with the original owner (or any other collaborators), they will receive a notification. If comments are made on the document, the owner (and any other collaborators) will also be notified of those comments.
Why can’t I access a Google Doc shared with me?
If a file won’t open, a few things could be wrong:
– The file owner didn’t give you permission to view the file
– You’re signed in to a different Google Account
– Your access could be denied because someone removed your permission to view the file
If you have access to a file on a shared drive, you can download it without the owner receiving any notification.
