Google has taken your data out of the individual silos you signed up for and created something bigger, but it's up to you to decide if that's good or bad.
When the service first launched, Google+ was described by its creators as a social layer for all of Google's products. This meant you could invite people to a document from Google Drive, check your notifications from Google Play Music, and effortlessly invite anyone with a Google account to a Hangout for anything from a quick friendly chat to a serious meeting. This plan has been scaled back a bit since its inception, as it turned out not everyone wanted every Google product connected to a highly personal social network, but there are still plenty of ways in which your Google+ account can affect your Google Account.
The good news is most of these things are actually quite helpful. The bad news is some of these things can't really be turned off.
