I'm getting the royal run-around in the help pages, and it's so frustrating, I want to scream. I need a human being, someone with common sense, to help me!!!
Here's the story: years ago, I created wod-talent-grid-maker.appspot.com on appspot. I did it completely for free at the time. Some time later, google acquired appspot and apparently they're in the progess of merging all the appspot apps with Google Cloud.
Several weeks ago, I got an email saying I need to log into the google admin console and do some things, or they'll transition my account from a free one to a paying one---or something like that. And I have until tomorrow to avoid going into pay-up mode!
When I clicked the link in the email to log into the admin console, it said, "Oh! Your email address ends in @gmail.com, that's no good. You have to log in with your admin account!" ...But I don't have an admin account, to the best of my knowledge. I'm not sure I ever did, really.
Whatever you do, PLEASE don't try sending me to the google help pages---they don't help at all! I tried them, but they're the very things that gave me the royal run-around! One of them says "Your current account, ------@gmail.com, isn’t managed by an administrator. The account isn’t associated with any company, school, or group. Instead, it’s a free Google Account that you can manage yourself."
But when I try to log in with my gmail account, it says, "Nope! You need an admin account."
Royal. run. around.
You can see why I procrastinated until the last minute to go through this insanity! If they'd wanted me to do it earlier, they really should've made a system that wasn't insanely frustrating...
So...with all that context in mind: am I screwed? Is there an actual way out of this catch-22 loop?
Or should I be contacting my bank to tell them not to give google one red cent of my money, and hope they respond to the whole not-getting-paid thing by cancelling this whole thing for me?
