How To Keep Your Important Files


Your Google account ending in @student.cms.k12.nc.us will no longer be available once you leave CMS. Follow these directions before you leave.  https://cms.instructure.com/courses/137769/pages/google-takeout  That Canvas Course walks you through how to download your CMS Google files via Google Takeout or Copy your Drive and Gmail data to a personal Gmail account via Google Transfer.


Tip: Sort by file size and delete or publish to the web (like upload to a personal YouTube account or website) anything you want to keep that is very large since personal Google accounts do not have unlimited storage.


What is Google Takeout?

Allows you to create an archive of your resources from your CMS Google Account in one zip file that you can download.  You can then extract and upload these resources to another Google account or open them locally on your computer. 

Please note that archives may take a long time (hours or possibly days) to create so prepare to extract your content as soon as you know you will be leaving CMS.
