Transferring Student’s Google Account to another Google Account
To transfer Google Docs from a school account to a personal account, the recommended method is to use Google Takeout to transfer the files or to share and make a copy. Using Google Takeout creates a copy of your files in your account while keeping the originals in your school account. Sharing and making a copy involve sharing the document with your account and then making a copy in that account.
Using Google Takeout:
- Sign in: Access takeout.google.com/transfer using your school account.
- Enter personal email: Input the email address of the personal Google account where you want the files transferred.
- Verify: Follow the instructions to verify your account.
- Select content: Choose the content you want to transfer (e.g., Drive).
- Start Transfer: Initiate the transfer process.
Confirmation: You will receive an email in your account when the transfer is complete.
