Copy content from your school account to another account

If you're using a Google Account through your school, you can copy and transfer your files to another Google Account. This process lets you:

  • Back up your files from time to time
  • Keep important files when you graduate, switch schools, or leave for another reason

If your Google Account isn't through your school, you can download your data instead.

If you get an error message, your school might not be able to use this tool yet. Please try again in a few weeks.

  • Email in Gmail (not contacts, chats, or tasks)
  • Documents that you own in Google Drive (except files in the "Google Photos" section of Drive)

The original files stay in your school account. Any changes you make to the copied files don't affect the originals.
