Requesting Google Drive Ownership Transfer
Follow this guide to learn how request a transfer of Google Drive Ownership.
Requesting Google Drive Ownership Transfer
After a person leaves the district their data is only held for 20 days so it’s always better to request the transfer of their google drive files prior to them leaving.
Once a person leaves the District you will lose access to any google drive files or folders that they shared with you once their google account has been deleted.
The best way to ensure that your team does not lose access to important google files or folders that they need is to Request a Google Drive Ownership Transfer before the person leaves the District.
Transferring ownership does not cause them to lose access to the files, just ownership of them.
Go to Eduphoria and Select Formspace:
Click on Submit New Form
Click on Instructional Tech: Access Request:
Click on Google Drive Employee Transfer Request Form:
After you have filled out the form you will get an email saying the transfer has been approved and an email that the Transfer was completed.
Once the Transfer is complete the person's files will appear in your google drive in a folder and you will then have ownership of them.
You can then share the files and folders needed with the rest of your team.
Another best practice Tip is to make copies of important google files and folders that your team members share with you.
When you make a copy of a file that is shared with you it stays in your drive and you will continue to have access to the copy of the file even when the person who created the original file leaves the District.
