Email service: UConn will no longer be able to host a mailbox for former students. You will be able to keep your email address, however. We are setting up a forwarding service (coming soon) that lets you point your @uconn.edu email address to a personal, non-UConn email account.  Email sent to your @uconn.edu address will then be automatically forwarded to your designated mailbox.

File Storage: Files stored on your UConn Google Workspace account (e.g., data in Drive, emails in Gmail) need to be moved if you wish to keep your data.  The Google Takeout tool lets you download a copy. Takeout will generate a .zip file that you can move to a personal storage solution (e.g., a local disk or your non-UConn Google account).  The tentative deadline to move your data is April 1, 2024.  Any data that remains in alumni accounts after this date will be subject to deletion.

Email Service: As an employee, you have your email on Outlook but you also have a Google Workspace, including Gmail, account. Although your email is now delivered to your Outlook inbox, your UConn Gmail may contain the messages you received and sent as a student. If you wish to keep these older messages, you should use the Google Takeout tool to download a copy.

File Storage: You should store work-related files on Microsoft 365 (OneDrive or SharePoint). If you have work-related files stored on Google Drive, you should move them to your UConn OneDrive. For non-work files, including your student data, you should move it to a different, non-work account (e.g., a non-UConn Google account) with Google Takeout.
