Leaving School?
What about my School docs and emails?
All my School work is on Google so what are my options.
The three common options are as follows. Note that the fourth option is the easiest and quickest option.
1. External Drive
Copy all of your data from Google Drive to an external drive.
This can take a long time depending on the files and it doesn't give you an option for emails.
2. Download your data
Create an archive with a copy of your data from Google products.
This option allows you to download all of your data and emails etc. It also includes options to send the data to another online provider such as Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive.

3. Transfer your content
Copy and transfer your emails and Google Drive files to another Google Account
This option is ok providing you have enough space in your personal Google account to take all of the data from your School Google account.

4. Alumni option
Time-limited option
This is the easiest option, it automatically creates a new Gmail account and transfers the data to that account for you from your School Google account. This needs to be done within 2 to 3 weeks after leaving school.
