What will happen if you will not access your Google account for 2 years?
Google deleting accounts: In a move to prevent security risks, Google has announced that it will start deleting accounts that have been inactive for at least two years.
The updated policy takes effect immediately, but Google said it will not begin deleting accounts until December.

The first accounts on the chopping block will be those that were created and then never revisited by the user, Google said. The policy also will only impact personal accounts, leaving organisations like schools and businesses untouched.
Google said its decision is based on internal findings that older accounts are more likely to rely on recycled passwords and less likely to employ up-to-date security measures like two-step-verification, making them far more vulnerable to issues like phishing, hacking and spam.

In 2020, Google said users would have their content wiped from services they'd stopped using, but the accounts themselves would not be deleted.
Google said to save your account, all you need to do is log in to sign into your account or any Google service and perhaps read an email, watch a video, perform a single search or any number of other activities.
