    Thank you thank you thank you thank you! With this fixed, I am definitely much happier with Apps!

    I hope that we will be able to migrate our existing information to the new service -- this would allow me to finally close my extra Google account. The biggest one is Voice, since I have call/SMS history (and a phone number!) that I'm not willing to lose.

    What about users with both a Google Apps account and Google account already? Can the accounts be merged? What about unmerging later on?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. For those of us who have created a Google Account that matches our Google Apps account (the "shadow hack" method), will there be a way for us to move or redirect our content without breaking everything into itty bitty bits?

    That is too awesome. Been using Google Apps with a secondary google account for years now. Out of curiosity, are you going to come up with some sort of migration procedure to get my Google Voice number over to my apps account without having to change it?

    Does this mean that I could consolidate or merge accounts in any way? I have an Apps account and a Google account. For whatever reason, I first started using Reader, Picasa Web, Docs and Voice through my Google account, for example, but my primary email and Calendar is through Apps. Would be nice to somehow get them together...

    If a user currently has a Google Apps account and a Google Account with the same email address, will they be able to move the applications/data from the Google Account to the Google Apps Account?

    What about Google Voice? Since the contacts portion of GV is the hardest to deal with given users must have two separate accounts with the same email address.

    This integration is great news, I can't wait to take advantage of the volunteer move over:)

    Seconding the idea that _merging_ Google Apps accounts with "vanilla Google accounts" will be critical as the number of supported services increases.

    Talking with users about their various online personae will be important as well - many people like to keep their work email separate from their recreational pursuits on Blogger, YouTube, etc. I'll be interested to see how well the new architecture enables this, or "preferences" the Google Apps account...

    Here's a suggestion - improve the interface for viewing/manipulating/searching files in Google apps. (I am sure you are working on this already...) While the individual apps are getting better, finding files is a pain, and the HTML-only links between docs/sites/mail/calendar is clunky, to put it politely. A more polished AJAX (HTML5?) interface in the browser allowing drag-and-drop of files into folders, tagging, color-codes etc etc (you get the idea) would be welcome.

    This a great extension. However, Google should also take a look at it from Enterprise perspective and not just personal internet user perspective.

    Like on-boaring of new employees, tracking their personal/ org data, in short entire HRMS (Human Resource Management System) ; leave management system; etc specifically for the Small & Medium Sized Enterprises.

    This will make the offering comprehensive and a single login will suffice to switch to any apps.

    I should add that I noticed something odd today. I logged into my documents section of my account and for some reason it pulled my google account not the google apps one for some reason. This did cause me to freak out a bit until I noted that there were one too many links on the upper left corner. I assume this was an artifact of the ongoing integration you are making. Simply clicking Sign Out caused it to switch to the correct profile and I did not have to sign back in.

    Every time I think of something that I wish Google Apps could do, you manage to toss a useful update out there such as this one which answers my wishes.

    Now how about a Google hosted LDAP directory to go with Google Apps? Or a database option which would allow my users to develop their own access like databases?

    I know we keep asking for more, but I could eat, sleep, and breath Google.

    Yes, please let us import our google account content to google apps. Picasa, Voice, Checkout, etc etc. The only reason I even have a regular google account is because it's the only option to access them. It really sucks when my contacts are missing, or signing into a google docs page on the iPhone doesnt work. (it forces you to use a google account, and google apps account doesnt work!)

    I am a domain admin for a medium sized non-profit. I see a lot of people on this comment list asking to be able to import all their personal email and calendars into Apps accounts once more services are available. But I would not welcome this migration path for our users. I don't want all our employees pushing their personal email and calendars onto our system, nor do I want our work related accounts pushed into regular google accounts. I love the idea of more services in Google Apps, but I am more interested in the ability of our employees to be able to see both work and personal email and calendars in one interface, but not mix the two. When an employee leaves, her work email and calendar should stay behind with the domain, but her personal email and calendar should never have been part of our domain. Right now she has to log in with two separate logins to make this possible. I would like to see a single login interface that gives her access to both personal and work tools, but in a way that does not actually combine one with the other. Ideally the user could choose whether she sees domain email & calendars, personal, or both on any login session. Both is important - you can't just set a global cookie anymore. Right now I use Chrome and use the icognito browsing so I can have an Apps account and personal account open at the same time, but this is kludgy. Since I don't want to mix home with work, I have to do it though.

    The issue for merging is for those of us that have Google Apps and Google Accounts logins that use identical email addresses. Your work users shouldn't be using their work email address for personal usage anyways.

    I don't think there is any intention to merge accounts that are for different email addresses.

    This is def a good move. As a software development company, Google has most of the tools needed to build enterprise applications.

    The problem is they don't have a good database structure system yet. You guys really need to get an SQL interface to BigTable or some other database in your AppEngine.

    When you do that, we will be able to build enterprise level commercial solutions that are tied to Google and get introduced to the Google Apps users for visibility.

    We are trying like crazy right now to build one. BigTable is the only thing killing the project and these are people who have worked in RPG AS/400 land before which is nothing but the style like BigTable and Logical Files etc...

    You must provide an SQL interface! You are holding back Google growth and you are holding back companies wanting to build apps that are tied to Google Apps.

    In reading some of these the biggest thing seems to be can we merge / migrate from our services used under our generic email (eg: website@gmail.com) to admin@website.com? I think this will help a tremendous amount of us that are on the free apps platform so that we do not have so many different email accounts.

    Fantastic news.

    As someone looking to replace a worldwide non-profit PBX and email system the following would make it a no-brainer:

    - Ability to manage a corporate wide contact list that is also tied to Active Directory (I think I can do this fairly well with Apps but it's a key requirement so putting it here).
    - Call a Skype user account from Google Voice (then I could loose Skype from desktops!)
    - Move a call between Google voice on a cell phone and a VOIP session on the browser
    - Call grouping / hunt groups etc. - things like Ringio but without the 25/user/month.
    - Route all the calls from our old PBX through Google Voice (and we make primarily international calls so the savings would be great!)

    Please!

    Still waiting...

    The key elements that force me to retain a separate Google Account alongside my active use of an Apps domain are:
    ~ more powerful Gmail (especially the recent rebuild of contacts)
    ~ proper contacts sharing without using 3rd party marketplace apps

    Other Google products that should be available to Apps customers. Ideally with tiers of access, sharing and domain-wide search. Ironically, many of these are of these would benefit organisations / businesses more than individuals.
    ~ analytics
    ~ photos
    ~ bookmarks
    ~ blogger
    ~ groups
    ~ adwords
    ~ alerts
    ~ feedburner
    ~ checkout
    ~ maps

    Giving Tasks the facelift that Contacts received could give Google a project managment application integrated fully into gmail, calendar, docs and everything else. Of course not losing the option for the simple version as it stands right now.

    Frustrating that all this is close, but not quite there. yet.
