How to take email (GMail), google docs and other information with you when you leave.
Solution
Some of the processes documented below can take anywhere from hours to over a week to complete. Please start well before your account is due to be deactivated and plan for extra time to retry should a process fail.
-
If you have a personal gmail account, you can move a copy of your email and Google Drive documents to it.
-
You can migrate your contacts by exporting them from your UMS account and importing them into your personal Gmail account by following the instructions to “Import Contacts from a Gmail Account”
-
In addition, you should also perform a “TakeOut” on all of your account data. This will ensure that you have a copy of everything that was in your account, should you need it.
Environment
- UMS GMail account
- UMS Google Drive
