How can I transfer my Email and MyDrive files to another Google account?
Google Takeout
Transfer Email and My Drive Files to another Google Account
- If you don’t already have one, create a Google account to transfer the files to.
- To copy content that other people have shared with you, make sure those files have been added to your My Drive and are not only available in “Shared with me”.
- Sign into your QCC Qmail account and go to takeout.google.com/transfer.
- Enter the email address of the destination Google account.
- Select Send code.
- Check your personal Gmail account for the confirmation email, and in the email select Get confirmation code. A new tab will open with a code.
- Return to takeout.google.com/transfer and enter the code, and choose Verify.
- Choose the content you’d like to copy and select Start transfer.
Details about the process:
- The copy process usually takes a few hours but can take up to a week depending on the amount of content.
- Copied files may appear in batches in the destination Google account during the copy process.
- When the process is complete, you will receive a confirmation email to your personal Gmail account.
