When leaving the Mukilteo School District, if you need to keep any of your files you will need to retrieve them from Google Drive or OneDrive before your account is closed and files are deleted.  It is easy to move these to another location before then and here is how!

You can copy files to an external USB flash drive or hard drive. Using Windows File Explorer, you can send files and folders to your external drive. To download files from OneDrive or Google Drive the suggested browser is Chrome. Before downloading, change the download location settings in Chrome (Settings, Downloads, and toggle on the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option). This will let you choose where you want to download the files (your external drive).

In OneDrive and Google Drive you can download files and folders to your external drive.

Google has a web site called Google Takeout that allows you to select data to include in a download or takeout. You most likely will just need to takeout your Drive folders. Deselecting all options, then selecting Google Drive, will allow you to export or move all your Google Drive files.

Options include: (1) choosing file formats, (2) advanced settings allowing you to include additional file naming options, and (3) which data to export allowing you to choose folders. Finally, (4) click “Next step” to move on.

On the next screen, you will choose a delivery option. You can choose to get a download link, download from your Google Drive, add to Dropbox, add to OneDrive, or add to Box. Finalize by clicking the “Create export” button to get your files.

If you have files in your OneDrive, you’ll need to download them to a USB drive, and then upload them to a personal OneDrive, or unpack them on your personal computer.
