Downloading Your Information

If you are a student who will be attending BPC during the 2021-2022 year, school much of your google drive and other google applications have been migrated over to your @nycstudents.net account already.

If you are staying in New York City Public Schools but not with BPC, your @nycstudents.net account is a google account and you can transfer your documents there.

You can take your contents from your BPC Google Drive and Email with you. You have 2 options.

A. You can download your contents

B. You can transfer it to another google account.

    1. You can wait until you start your new school,

    2. If you have a personal one, you can use that.

    3. You can create a new account if need be.

One note about your files: It must be files you own or are in your main drive. If it is something that is shared to you, in the "Shared With Me" folder and you want to keep it, you must make a copy for yourself or move it to your drive, that should help the problem.
