You should notice a new icon that has appeared on your Chromebook shelf (see above). Clicking this icon will initiate the Google Transfer process. This will allow you to transfer all of the files in your IPSD Google Drive to a personal account. You must ensure that your personal account has enough space to accomodate your IPSD files. You may need to open a new personal Google account, pay for more storage on your account, or delete unnecessary files from your IPSD drive if you don't have enough storage. You should initiate this process before you turn in your Chromebook. The district will delete all of your files on June 30, 2026. You may also click this link to access a document with more information on the Google Transfer process.
