To transfer contents of email and files from “@aa.washington.edu” google to “@uw.edu” google, do the following:
open a web browser and make sure it is working off your
“@aa.washington.edu” google account
navigate to the page:
The page will have some tiles and a menu in the upper left. The upper left tile is "Transfer your account". Click the link for "Start transfer".
Enter the requested information for the new account.
I normally recommend starting this process on a weekend, as it runs in the background and can take a while to complete. Google *WILL* send you an email when the process is completed!
Even though the Google Transfer Tool will ALLOW you to transfer both your Gmail and your Google Drive, PLEASE do these account ONE AT A TIME! The suggested order is:
Gmail First (usually takes upwards of 48 hours to complete, depending on how much mail needs to be copied!)
Google Drive Second (again, can take quite a bit of time, depending on how much data you have!).
a folder gets created called "originating_account_name date time", and the files are being put in there. So you will end up with a folder named "user@aa.washington.edu 2022-05-21 16:07".
