We recommend moving personal data out of your Miami account well before the Summer 2024 deadline, even for folks who are not currently over their quota (please see the quotas page for specifics about how much storage you get based on your role). There are several different options for moving your data out of your Miami account and to a personal account (Google or otherwise).

If you want to download a copy of your data for storing in a different online account or moving to a new email account (not Google):

• Use Google Takeout to download data from your Miami account
• Download data from your Miami Google Drive in the browser (this does NOT include email)

If you have another Google Mail (Gmail) account and wish to transfer all of your Miami data to that account, please refer to this article:

• Transfer the data in your Miami account to a personal (Google) account

YouTube accounts associated with your Miami account require a little more finesse. Please allot at minimum seven (7) days to transfer ownership of a YouTube account. 

• Move YouTube channel data to a personal account

What about files that have been shared with me?

If desired, you will need to download files that have been shared with you separate of the Google Takeout utility. Please refer to this article for instructions:

• Download Google Workspace data from your Miami account in your browser

You can also make a copy of the file to keep in your own Drive.

More instruction will be forthcoming about files pending deletion that have been shared with you.

Please view this tutorial for more information about files that have been shared with you:
