Download Your School Data in a Few Easy Steps with Google Takeout

Google Takeout is a service that allows you to download a copy of your data from Google. This includes your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, Google Photos photos, and more.

If you are a teacher leaving your district (or have students who are graduating or transferring schools), you may want to download a copy of your data from your school Google Account. This way, you will have a backup of your work and files in case you lose access to your school account.

In this blog post, I will show you how to use Google Takeout to download the data from your school Google Account.

Step 1: Go to Google Takeout

The first step is to go to Google Takeout. You can do this by visiting the following website: takeout.google.com


Step 2: Sign in to your Google Account

Once you are on the Google Takeout website, you will need to sign in to your Google Account. This is the same account that you use for your school email and Google Drive.

Step 3: Select the data you want to download


On the Google Takeout website, you will see a list of all the data that you can download. You can select all of the data, or you can select specific items.

For example, you might want to download all of your Gmail messages, or you might just want to download your Google Drive files.



Step 4: Choose a download format

Google Takeout allows you to download your data in a variety of formats. You can choose to download your data as a ZIP file, a CSV file, or an HTML file.

I recommend choosing the ZIP file format, as this is the most common format and it will be easy to open on any computer.



Step 5: Start the download

Once you have selected the data you want to download and the format you want to download it in, you can start the download by clicking the "Create export" button.

Google Takeout will then start creating the archive of your data. This may take a few minutes, depending on how much data you are downloading.

Step 6: Download the archive

Once the archive is created, you will be able to download it. To do this, click the "Download archive" button.

The archive will be downloaded to your computer. You can then open it and access your data.

That's all there is to it! By following these steps, you can easily download a copy of your data from your school Google Account. This way, you will have a backup of your work and files in case you lose access to your school account.
