​Take your GraniteSD and M:Drive
files away with you when you leave
Employees TOO!
  • It is your work KEEP IT.
  • You might have younger siblings that may need it! ;)
  • You might have the same (or similar) assignments in college.  
  • You might want that information later in life.  
  • Ten years from now it will be fun to look at it.  You'll thank me!
  • Your children will be impressed and wonder what PowerPoint was!
First.  Clean UP! 
I suggest…
  • Save any e-mail attachments you may want to your M Drive (Make a new folder on your M drive or desktop call it “From Granite PC” or similar.  Move (click and drag) everything you want to keep into that folder.  Leave the rest to be deleted.
  • Clean up your GraniteSD (Google) Drive by deleting what you do NOT want.
Second. Combine
Get all your files in one spot.
  • Upload that folder to your GraniteSD account.
  • Everything is in one spot right?
  • Teachers don't for get your Canvas Classes (Export them)

Then do one or more of the following.

Google Account - https://myaccount.google.com
(recommended for continued use)
Allows you to "Transfer" to another account all your Google content. 
  • I would create a brand new account and call it something like "Me_In_HighSchool" then it is not mixed in with your personal stuff.
  • Transfer should be the easy way.  Log in with your GraniteSD account and transfer to your personal account. 
  • Get the code. Transfer.  Wait. Easy!
  • Not sure what happens if you don't have enough space!
Or you can Archive it. Click on Data & Personalization 
  • Scroll Down to Download or Delete Data
  • Click on Download data.  
  • Select "None" then re-select what you DO WANT.  Probably just Drive, e-mail, Bookmarks,
  • Click "Next"
  • Delivery Method - "e-mail a link" to your personal account.
  • One-Time archive
  • File type = ".zip"
  • Archive size. go big, but make sure you have a hard drive (thumb drive) large enough for it. 
  • I have NO IDEA how long it will take - It depends on how much you have. Wait for the e-mail. Download the archive to your drive or home computer.
  • IF you are the owner of ANY SHARED files or folders.  The documents will "disappear" for them.  Same with you - if any are shared with you and the owner is leaving their files will be deleted.


​Or, download it?
(recommended for historical reasons)  Yes do BOTH!
Download your Google Drive documents to your M:Drive.  Then drag and drop it to an External USB drive.  Easy.  Easy to lose also!  Put this drive in your treasure chest!
