WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS TUTORIAL?

To show users how to transfer their documents from an IUSD account to a personal Google account.

Step 1: Log in

Log in to your IUSD Google account

• Go to Drive.google.com

Step 2: Account settings

In the top right-hand corner you should see your account picture (or the first letter of your name).

• Click on your account picture
• Click on “Manage your Google Account”

Step 3: Control Content

Under your name, there will be a box that says “Transfer your content”

• Click “Start Transfer”

Step 4: Transfer Content

Follow the three steps to transfer your content

• Enter your personal email address (same as personal Google account)
• Click “Send Code”

• Sign out of your account and go to gmail.com
• Login with your personal Google account
• Click on the email from Google 
• Click on “Get confirmation code”

• Copy the confirmation code
• Now that you have the confirmation code, click “Continue”

• You will be prompted to log back into your IUSD Google account
• Enter the confirmation code (or paste it in) and click Verify

• Make sure that you have Drive toggled on (Don’t worry about Gmail) 
• Start the transfer

Before you click “Start Transfer”, make sure that you are logged into your IUSD Google account. 

• If you receive this error message, you were logged into your personal account instead of your IUSD account.

Step 5: Email Notification

Your data is now being transferred from your IUSD account to your personal account. Google will send you updates via email on the transfer status.

After you receive the email that your content has arrived, there will be a folder in your personal Google Drive with all of the files. The folder will be named after your IUSD username.
