Click Here for a brief presentation outlining a simple method for converting and exporting data from your Google Drive. Google Docs files (Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, etc.) will be converted to formats compatible with Microsoft Office when downloaded. Other files stored in Drive (PDF, JPEG, AutoCAD, etc.) will not be converted, but will be exported as is. You could move these files to your personal computer and use them locally, or upload them to a personal Google account, or a Google account associated with your new educational or professional organization.
If you are looking to export Google data beyond Google Drive, take a look at the utility called Google Takeout which can be used to automate the export process from several Google services.
If you have questions about the information provided here, please see one of your building technology staff located in the Student Technology Center.
