To transfer to an existing Gmail account:
Start the copy process
- While signed in to your school account, go to Transfer your content.
- Enter the email address of the Google Account to copy your Cornell content to.
- Select "Get code".
- On your receiving (non-Cornell) Google Account, check your Gmail inbox for a confirmation email from Google. In the email, select Get confirmation code. A new tab will open with a code.
- On your school account, go back to the "Transfer your content" page. Enter the code, then choose Verify.

Details about the copy process:
- The copy process usually happens within a few hours, but it can take up to a week.
Copied files might appear in batches on your Google Account during the copy process.
When your files are finished copying, you'll get an email at your Gmail address.
If you are transferring to a personal account that is NOT Gmail:
- Open a browser and go to takeout.google.com
- Sign in with your Cornell College email account if prompted
- Click on “Deselect All” and then check the boxes for the items you wish to transfer – we recommend “Drive” and “Mail”
