Graduating Seniors,
As the end of the school year approaches, we strongly encourage you to make sure any important files in your school Google Drive or Gmail are backed up in some way before you lose access to them. Your OPS account will be deleted on June 6th.
There are several ways you can choose to backup your files. To make the backup process easy, there is a free tool available called Google Transfer. This tool allows you to transfer your files from your school account to a personal Google account.
To use Google Transfer, simply follow these steps:
Log in to your school Google account and go to the Google Transfer page: https://takeout.google.com/transfer
Enter the email address of your personal Google account that you want to transfer the files to
Click "Send Code" and enter the verification code you receive.
Follow the instructions on the page to select the files you want to transfer. (By default both your Drive files and your email will be copied, but you can choose to toggle off either of these if you do not want to copy one of them.)
Click "Start Transfer" to begin the transfer process.
Your emails and drive files will now begin copying over to your other account. Depending on how many files you have, it may take up to a week for everything to get copied. You can close out of this window now if you want, because all of the copying is happening on Google's servers. When the copy process is done you will now find the emails and files in your other account.
Please note that you must complete the transfer process before your school Google account is deactivated, so we encourage you to do it as soon as possible. Your OPS account will be deleted on June 6th. For more information on Google Transfer, you can visit the Google support site here.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the process, please don't hesitate to contact the school's help desk. Thank you!
