Export Files, Folders and Data from RCS Accounts: Difference between revisions

For all departing students (graduates, transfers, withdraws, etc.) '''we will permanently remove your accounts after July 31st.''' This means '''you will lose access to your RCS Google account, email address, Schoology, myRiverdale, etc.''' at that time.

'''Make sure you have transferred anything you wish to keep''' from your Google Drive to your personal accounts or external drives before you go because <u>we can not re-activate your accounts if you miss the deadline</u>. [[#How to keep data from your RCS account|See below for details]] on retaining/moving your Google data.

 

Be sure to [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/25922 setup an auto-reply/vacation message in GMail] at some point in May or June to share your non-RCS email with anyone who emails you before your accounts are removed.

 

You may also want to '''set up a forwarding address in your gmail''', which will forward all of your mail to another address.

*Go to the Sprocket in the top, right-hand corner of your gmail screen, and select '''See All Settings'''.

*Then select '''Forwarding and POP/IMAP''' and then click the button that says '''Add A Forwarding Address'''.

*Once you enter an email address in the resulting field, Gmail will send an email to that other address with a code. You will need to use that code in order to complete the forwarding setup.

We recommend placing all of your Google Drive data into a '''single folder''', then downloading it. You can download onto a personal device OR download onto your Riverdale laptop, then upload to a personal cloud storage (Ex: Dropbox, personal GDrive, OneDrive). For data that lives in a Shared Drive, we recommend '''making a copy''' of the desired files and placing them into a folder, then download that folder.
