Hello Wodsfort,
I believe the Google integration is mainly for users who wish to access
their Google Drive via Dolphin. I believe its also used for syncing
email and contacts with KMail and sharing videos to YouTube as well.
I remember seeing a thread on Discuss that Google frequently blocks the
sign in flow, so claiming the domain name with them and formally
registering as a project under Google Cloud may resolve this.
And I believe the partnership with Google is just a financial
contribution, however someone else may be able to correct me here.
Regards,
Ben

Hi all,
As part of some upcoming infrastructure changes, I'd appreciate it if
people who have registered a Google account under their @kde.org
<http://kde.org> address could please let me know.
Would be extra helpful if you could also advise what the account is
used for / to access.
There isn't anything wrong here, but i'm considering claiming the
domain "kde.org <http://kde.org>" for the purposes of a organization
account to hold Google Projects (used to grant our applications
access to Google services) in a more central manner than we do currently
Thanks,
Ben
