What is Google Transfer?
Employees leaving or Graduating seniors can copy and transfer their bluebullets.org files to a personal Gmail account.
What can I copy over?
You can copy and transfer these kinds of files from your school account to another Google Account:
- Emails in Gmail (not contacts, chats, or tasks)
- Documents that you created in Google Drive
- Documents in your "Shared with me” folder
When you use Google Transfer, you'll be making copies of the original files. The original files stay in your bluebullets.org account, and any changes you make to the copied files don't affect the originals.
Important: Graduated seniors can access their bluebullets.org account for 1 month after graduation. After 1 month is over (late June), your bluebullets.org account will be deactivated and you won't be able to log in anymore.

Important: You will not be able to create a new Gmail account on your school-issued logwill be in Chromebook. You'll need to use a smartphone, a laptop that's not a school-issued Chromebook, or a desktop computer for this step. - Prepare your files
