Copying Content to/from Google Accounts

I am leaving the NI education system and want to take copies of files from my C2k Google account. Can I do this?

If you have a personal Gmail account, Google Transfer can be used to transnfer ownership. Alternatively, use Google Takeout to export a zip folder of your Drive content in formats such as Microsoft Office, PDF, Open Document or Rich/Plain Text. See below for further information.

NOTE: further to your C2k account being removed by your school, other staff with whom you have shared documents will lose access. You may wish to reassign ownership of these files or preferably copy files to a Team Drive before leaving.

NOTE: Only files not containing personal pupil data should be transferred or downloaded.

I am moving to a school that doesn't have Google Workspace. What should I do?

Google Takeout allows you to export a zip folder of your Drive content in formats such as Microsoft Office, PDF, Open Document or Rich/Plain Text. If your new school has opted-in for Office 365, you could download Google format files ad Office files and then upload to One Drive. There is also the option of transferring to a personal Google Account. See below for further information.
