When you unlink a Google account, you lose access to services and data associated with that account across all Google products. This includes Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and any other Google service. It stops automatic syncing and saves data to the cloud, but does not delete the account or its data. You can still access the account with its login credentials, but you'll need to relink it to regain full functionality and syncing capabilities across your devices and Google services.
