Email Service: Your email service is not affected. You will continue to use Outlook. File Storage: Work-related files must be stored in Microsoft 365 (OneDrive or SharePoint). If you have files stored in Google Workspace, ITS will migrate files to OneDrive in Microsoft 365 in the spring/summer of 2024. Most files will migrate from Google Drive to OneDrive and the file extension will change so that you can use the files in Microsoft (For example, a .gdoc will convert to the Word format, .docx). Files that are stored in services outside of your Drive storage, like Google Photos, will not migrate and some features, such as links and sharing permissions, will not persist. View the suggested workarounds. For more information about the transition for faculty, visit Google to 365 - Faculty |

Email service: UConn will no longer be able to host a mailbox for former students. As an alumnus, you may choose to keep your UConn email address by opting into the forwarding service. This service lets you point your University of Connecticut email address to a personal, non-UConn email account. Email sent to your University of Connecticut 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 30, 2024. Any data that remains in alumni accounts after this date will be subject to deletion. |
