Google offers the Google Transfer Service which copies the contents of the ABschools Drive folder and all emails to a personal GMail account. While this is the quickest and easiest way to transfer your data, please review this Google Transfer documentation before you use the service, as you will need to prepare your ABschools account accordingly depending on the storage quota of your personal Gmail account. You may need to delete unwanted information in order to transfer the data that you want to keep. For instance, ABschools has unlimited data storage while personal Gmail accounts do not unless you pay for it!
Transferring ownership of Google Docs to your classmates/staff members

Remember any Google Doc file you created and shared with others will no longer be accessible to your friends and colleagues when your ABschools account is disabled! This includes any shared curriculum files or, for seniors, files created in support of clubs/teams. Please transfer ownership or create a shared drive of any important files you would like to leave behind before you leave the district. Transferring data is only allowed within the ABschools domain! So you won't be able to transfer ownership to a personal Gmail account (use Google Transfer Service for this).
Watch Google's video for transferring ownership of your Google Docs files to another person.
