Email Service: As an employee, you have your email in 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. ITS will not be migrating these emails into your Outlook inbox.

File Storage: Work-related files must be stored in Microsoft 365 (OneDrive or SharePoint). 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).

You may want to create a record of the files that have been shared with you in Google. To do so, please follow this guide: Create Record of Files Shared with me in Google

Non-work files, including your student data, should be moved it to a different, non-work account (e.g., a non-UConn Google account) with Google Takeout. The Google Takeout tool lets you download a copy, or you may transfer the data to a personal Google account using the transfer tool.  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), while a transfer moves your data directly into another Google account.
