- Using Google Takeout, students will be able to transfer documents and files to their personal devices
- Navigate to My Account while signed in to your VVSTU student account - https://myaccount.google.com/
- Click 'Start Transfer'
1. Enter a destination account
Enter your personal Gmail account here (not the @vvstu.org account)
2. Select the data you want to export. You will not need to export files from most of the services listed.
At the top, you can click to deselect all and select only the services you need to export files.
Be sure to select Google Drive. If you do not need to archive all of the files in your Google Drive, or just want to archive your most important files, you can click All Drive Data to select specific folders to archive.
Click Ok. Then, click Next step.
3. Customize the archive format.
For the Delivery method, choose to Add to Drive.
For Frequency, choose Export Once.
For File type & size, choose .zip
4. Once you have configured your options, click on Create Export. This will begin the process for creating an archive which will then be saved to your Google Drive.
Please note - it may take anywhere from several minutes to several hours to create the archive, depending on the number and size of the files in your School Drive
5. Once the archive is complete, a screen will display the archive with the option to open it in Drive.
Download this archive and save it to a USB flash drive, personal computer, or an external device.
If you don’t see this option or have closed the window, navigate to https://drive.google.com and locate the folder labeled ‘Takeout’.
In this folder, you will find the archive that you have generated.
Once located, simply download this archive and save it to a USB flash drive, personal computer, or some other external device.
