Transitioning from ISM
To help support students who are transitioning to a new school from ISM, we have developed the following steps to help ease the move.
Access to ISM Google accounts will be turned off three months after a student leaves ISM. This allows time for students to backup and save their information as they transition to a new school. Backing up is done using Google Takeout.
Step 2
Here you can choose which Google items you'd like to Takeout
Recommended Items:
1. Bookmarks
2. Chrome
3. Contacts
4. Drive (See note below if you don't want all the folders)
5. Mail
Note: that you may not want to take all of your drive with you.
You can select only some of your folder by
1. Clicking on "All Drive data included"
2. Only selecting the folders you'd like to download
Step 3
When you've selected all the items you would like to Takeout scroll to the bottom and click "Next Step"
Step 4
Choose either:
1. Send download link via email to Download a zip file of all your files to a hard drive.
2. Add to Drive to have all files Zipped into one folder in your ISM Google Drive.
You will find the Takeout Zip folder in your ISM Google drive. Either:
Share this file with your new account and make a copy from the new account. NOTE you need to ensure you have enough space in your new account first.
You need to download the Takeout Zip Folder to your device.
3. If you're adding to drive chose to change the file size to 50GB.
Click Create export.
Note: if you choose to Add to Drive, this create a folder in your ISM Google Drive, it does not send them to your personal drive. You still need to download the zip folder.
Step 5: If you selected 'Send download link via email:
When your export is ready you will receive an email with a download link
Note: Be sure to download the export onto a personal device and not a school iMac.
Once you have downloaded the Zip file you can
Open the files on your computer (they'll be converted to Office files)
Upload them to a personal or new school Google drive.
