Using Google One Android Device Backup On COBO Smartphone
Hey everyone, is it possible to use COBO (Corporate Owned, Business Only) and Google One? I have a device with a private account enabled (mainly for paid apps) and when I try to enable Google One b...
Hi,
do you know which account it tries to use?
If there's a company generic (managed google play) account which it's trying to use this won't work. You may need to ensure that this private account is used (or better a Google account managed by the organization because of data safety).
But in general I never used (or tried to) Google One on a managed device.
The personal Google account (name@company.de) is used.
The managed Google account (work-xxxxxxxxxx@android-for-work.gserviceaccount.com) is not selectable in the Google One app
Clicking on Aktivieren (Activate) just reloads the same screen and nothing happens.
Are you using a backup for managed devices and if yes, which one? I might consider it as an alternative.
Most stuff is already backup up server-side but I would appreciate something for SMS/MMS and device/app data.
Thank you very much for your help.
No, we don't use backup on company phones because in the current setup etc. it's not needed.
