If you have an embarrassing or outdated Gmail address, you may soon be able to change that — without losing all your files and records.

The tech site 9to5Google reported that it appears Google may be rolling out the ability to change the address of your gmail.com email without losing all your files.

9to5Google reported that the change was discovered on a Hindi-language support forum page but that the ability was "gradually rolling out to all users." Read the translated forum page:

"The email address associated with your Google Account is the address you use to sign in to Google services. This email address helps you and others identify your account. If you’d like, you can change your Google Account email address that ends in gmail.com to a new email address that ends in gmail.com."

Obviously, the change has not been confirmed just yet. In fact, the English-language version of the support page still reads, "if your account's email address ends in @gmail.com, you usually can't change it."

So if your Gmail address is from middle school and a little embarrassing, you might be able to change it soon. But it's not quite guaranteed.
