This might be old news, but I wanted to give everyone an urgent heads up: Google starts deleting inactive accounts on Dec 1.
You'll want to sign into Gmail, Google Photos, Drive, Chats, and Youtube for each account of yours.
Youtube videos aren't getting deleted anymore, but I wouldn't trust it. Just log in anyway IMO.
You may also want to set up what happens after account termination using Google's "Inactive Account Manager". You can use Google Takeout to download all your data and schedule more exports too. This will happen every 2 years.
