Question
How do I transfer my emails and documents from my GRCC student email?
Environment
Information
GRCC student email has a feature that allows you to transfer your files from Google Drive and messages from Gmail to a personal email address. This is only enabled for students and is useful if you would like to keep a record of emails and documents after you are no longer a student.
Answer
Note: You will need to log out of all other Google accounts before attempting this process.
- Navigate to email.grcc.edu.
- Select your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Select Manage your Google Account.
- Select Transfer your content near the top of the page. (Alternatively, navigate directly to takeout.google.com/transfer (opens in a new window)).
- Enter the destination email address you would like to transfer your content to. Note: This must be a personal Gmail account.
- Check your personal email for a confirmation message and select Get confirmation code.
- Once you receive your confirmation code, return to the transfer screen in your GRCC email and enter the code.
- Select the content you wish to transfer (Drive, Gmail, or both) and select Start transfer.
- The transfer process will begin. You will receive confirmation emails in both your GRCC and personal email accounts.
Note: It may take up to a week for the transfer to complete. You will receive an email when it is finished. Restricted content or content you do not own will not be transferred.
