Retiree Tech Tips

There are several different ways to transfer your files.

Please read below and choose the method that suits your needs.

Transferring Your School Google Drive to a Personal Google Drive

Please be aware that if you have more that 15 GB of data, you will run out of storage on your personal (not Elwood) Google account and all your Elwood files will not transfer!

Please keep in mind, that you need to own the files to complete the process. If they are in your "Shared with Me", "Shared Drives", or are a copy of a file that is originally owned by someone else, they won't always copy over to another account.
