No that's not my case, I only talked about the university mail to say that I'm gonna use them for the university apps (of course). I'm asking something else

I wouldn't be using Gmail at all, I was thinking about creating a google account using my proton mail

Hahah thank you for answering! You're right I was trying to be brief and forgot to better explain this part: I use the university email to sign for Microsoft office, they gave us free access during covid. I read a lot of stuff about people mistakingly enrolling in their school's environments (if I got it right, I might mistake terms) and I decided to do this. I had added a school account on my device, and even if I think it wasn't the main one, I still didn't really understand when it was activated and when not. Also I didn't like the cloud file that would always appear in my documents...

Now I will obviously need to access those apps again, Outlook for sure and Teams for some lessons recordings... How does that work? Am I safe when using them for example on chrome, and not creating a school account? Maybe it's a silly question but I just wanted to make sure, or at least someone might just go "hey wait this happened to me so pay attention to this and that".. hope this clarifies it a bit 😅

Thank you a lot! This was really helpful ❤️ I think I'll stick to using the web versions and I'll also consider a VM in the future, it's very interesting! Thank you again, for taking the time to help and being crystal clear too!

Didn't know about that! I will look it up cause I'm curious, if you'd like to tell me more I'd love it (like is it just for security or in what other ways can it be used?)
