(Hidden)_For Seniors- Saving your Google Drive Files

On August 1st the Google Apps accounts of the most recent GBCS graduating class will be removed from the system.  After this time, students will no longer have access to their school Google Drive accounts or any content contained in their Google Drive. 

Items to be removed include but are not limited to:

• Items created using Google products (docs, sheets, slides, etc...)
• Items uploaded/saved to your GB Google Drive
• @gbstu Gmail accounts

Once these items/accounts are removed they cannot be recovered.  If you have items in your Google Drive that you would like to keep, you must back them up prior to August 1st.

If you have data on your district Google Drive that you would like to keep, there are a few different ways to save the information.

If you only have a few documents you want to keep

1. Access your school Google Drive
2. Find the item you want to save
3. Share it with a personal Gmail account
4. Make your personal Gmail account the owner of the document
5. Repeat these steps for any other document you want to save

If you want to save most of or everything in your Google Drive

1. Access your school Google Drive
2. Use Google Takeout to save your entire Google Drive or whatever files/folders you want to keep

For more information on using Google Takeout and saving information from Google Drive, please review Google's Download your Data instructions.
