First. Clean UP!
I suggest…
|
Second. Combine
Get all your files in one spot.
Why "Clean-up"?Both of these "school" accounts have un-limited storage. Personal accounts do NOT. So you will not have as much space unless you purchase more.

Some people have asked how to export Outlook contacts since they have personal contacts there...
For the past 13+ years I have always suggested to keep "work" and "life" separated!
(However... In Outlook. Click on Contacts. In the toolbar click "Manage contacts" and select "Export Contacts".

Then do (at least) one of the following
Google Account - https://myaccount.google.com
1. Download it. (after clicking the link above)
2. Transfer the account
Allows you to "Transfer" your stuff to another Google account.
1. Download it. (after clicking the link above)
- Click "Data and Privacy"
- Scroll down to "Download or Delete Data"
- Click on "Download data".
- Select "None" then re-select what you DO WANT. Probably just Drive, e-mail, Bookmarks...,
- Click "Next"
- Delivery Method - "e-mail a link" to your personal account.
- One-Time archive
- File type = ".zip"
- Archive size. go big, but make sure you have a hard drive (thumb drive) large enough for it.
- I have NO IDEA how long it will take - It depends on how much you have. Wait for the e-mail. Download the archive to your drive or home computer.
- IF you are the owner of ANY SHARED files or folders. The documents will "disappear" for them. Same with you - if any are shared with you and the owner is leaving their files will be deleted.
- I honestly do not know what to do with it (the .zip file) after that - since I have not done this yet!
2. Transfer the account
Allows you to "Transfer" your stuff to another Google account.
- I would create a brand new Google account and call it something like "Me_In_School" then it is not mixed in with your personal stuff.
- Transfer should be the easiest and fastest.
- Get the code. Transfer.
- I am not sure what happens if you don't have enough space! (This is why you DO this long before you leave GSD!)
Google Drive on your PC
- IGNORE IT.
- Don't copy it those are really just shortcuts to your Google Drive drive won't exist anymore.
Or, Vice-Versa! Download it?
I would do this also!
3. Download your Google Drive
Download your documents to your OneDrive. Then drag and drop it to an External USB drive. Easy. Easy to lose also! Put this drive in your treasure chest!
Sharing is NOT enough!
- If you SHARE documents/folders with others (including a different account of your own), they will loose access to your documents as your account(s) will no longer work..
- In Google you can Share a folder, then make that person the owner. OR they can make a copy of your folder.
New(ish) in Office 365 (PC documents)
Log into your Office 365 account and download all your files as compressed .zip file. It will download to your PC and you will STILL need to save (or move) that somewhere to take with you.
