Google Chrome basics and AODocs recommendations
Google Chrome Profile
Google Chrome allows you to sign into your browser with your Google Account to synchronize your bookmarks, extensions, history, passwords, and other settings on all your devices.

In Google Chrome you can also create different profiles that allow you to segregate different users.

Google accounts log in
In a Google Chrome profile, you can log in with multiple Google accounts.
Chrome profile with multiple Google accounts
However, AODocs recommends that you log in to only ONE Google account per Google Chrome profile. This ensures that the data associated with your Google account is not mixed with data from other Google accounts, which often results in issues in the various Google services.
Note: If Google Sync is enabled on your Google Chrome profile, use the same Google account to log in.
