We'll miss you here at JIS, and we appreciate your contribution to our community. You've done a lot while you were here, and created plenty of content.
Please make sure the content that should stay is in the MS Shared Drive, or change the ownership to someone who is staying.
For any questions about purchasing your device, please visit the JISNet Portal's IT page for more information.
You must return your device on the last day of school (more info here). You will have access to your JIS account until Sept 1st so that will give you enough time to also take appropriate content with you. There are several things that you might want to consider taking with you: your Gmail messages, Google Drive content, Chrome bookmarks and Google Sites.

How:
Highlight the files/folders that you want - download (as a zip file).

If you wish to convert ALL files in Google Docs format, change the settings in your personal account first (see screenshots below.) If you would rather keep it in MS Word format, skip this step.
Create a folder in your personal account for all your back up files. Upload your extracted folder to your new GDrive folder.
Copy and transfer your JIS content to your personal Google account.
PROS: Emails, files and folders are saved directly to your personal Google account. If you have already cleaned up your inbox, this is an easy way to transfer ALL your email messages.

You cannot select which folders or files you can transfer to your personal account.
ALL files that you have edit access to will be transferred to your account (ex. For Sale GDocs that you have editing access to, all MS student sites, countless photos, etc.)
You won't be able to copy your content in Shared Drive.
HOW:
Open a New Tab in your browser and create a personal Gmail account (it will automatically create a Google Drive too). We will copy and transfer your JIS content to your new personal account.
Next, go to your JIS Google account and click your Profile Photo (upper-right hand portion of the screen), then click Manage your Google Account.You will be directed to the Home page of your Google account. Look for Transfer your Content and then click START TRANSFER.

On your personal Gmail, copy the confirmation code that has been sent to you.
Go back to your JIS Google Transfer page and paste the confirmation code. Then choose Verify.
Select the content that you'd like to copy, then select Start Transfer.
AFTER COPYING...
The copy process might take a few hours up to a week, but you don't have to wait until it's done copying. When it's done, you will receive a message at your personal Gmail address.
You will also see all of your copied content in one folder labeled with your JIS email address and the date that you started the process.
What are some of the changes in your copied files?
You automatically become the file owner of ALL the files that you copied and transferred.
All of your files are not shared with others (but you can choose to share with others.)
If you own Googlesites, some of the embedded content that your personal Gmail account doesn't have view access to will not be displayed (ex. Google Slide presentations)
Download select JIS content as zipped files.
PROS:
You can select which Google Drive content you could copy.
Other Google content such as Chrome bookmarks, Google Photos, Youtube videos, etc. can be copied as well.
Please note that Google Takeout will NOT include files that you only have View access to in your Google Drive.
CONS:
ALL files that you have edit access to in a particular folder will be downloaded. Cleaning up your Drive folders before backing up is highly recommended.
Your content will be saved in several zipped folders that are saved in MS Office format. What this means: if you wish to save your content in your personal or school Google account in Google Docs format, you will have to change the conversion settings in Google and then upload the extracted folders manually.
Some files might lose its formatting.
You will need to use an external app to import your Gmail .mbox files to your personal account.

Click Deselect all so you can select the content you wish to back up.
