For security reasons, we will delete all graduating senior google accounts in June of the year they graduate.
The following are instructions for graduating seniors to follow in order to transfer the contents of their Google Drive to a personal account.
Create an account
If you haven't already, create a personal Google Account. Your new email address will be your [email protected].
Prepare your files
To copy content that other people have shared with you, add those files to My Drive.
You can review files in your “Shared with me” folder. Learn how to manage files in your Google Drive storage.
Start the copy process
- On your school account, go to Transfer your content.
- Enter the email address of the Google Account where you want to copy your content.
- Select Get code.
- On your personal Google Account, check your Gmail inbox for a confirmation email from Google. In the email, select Get confirmation code. A new tab will open with a code.
- On your school account, go back to the "Transfer your content" page. Enter the code, then choose Verify.
- Choose the content you'd like to copy, then select Start transfer.
Details about the copy process
- The copy process usually happens within a few hours, but it can take up to a week.
- Copied files might appear in batches on your Google Account during the copy process.
- When your files are finished copying, you'll get an email at your Gmail address.
