The option to transfer messages, Google Drive content or Photos to a personal Gmail account or another Google Workspace account is available for Binghamton University Email accounts. Before beginning the process, check how much storage you are using and verify that you have enough storage available in your personal Gmail account.
To transfer your messages and or Google Drive content to another Google account, sign into http://bmail.binghamton.edu using the account you want to Transfer from, click on the Binghamton University logo in the upper right corner of the screen and select Manage Your Google Account.
From the Home Screen, you can select Transfer your Content to begin the process.
You will need to verify that you own the Gmail account by receiving a code and entering it in the form. If you obtain the code from your personal Gmail account and see the error message (or something similar) :
"Transfer Your Content is only available to authorized G Suite for Education Accounts.
Please contact your administrator, or sign in with another Google Account."
This error is caused when you are logged into more than one Google account in the browser. To resolve this, log out of all Google accounts, close out of your browser, then log into your Bmail account only to enter the code.
Once you have verified with the code, you can select to transfer either messages, drive or photos or any combination.
You will receive an email message in your Binghamton email account that the Transfer has started and that it will take up to a week to complete.
Messages that are transferred are under a label that contains your Binghamton University email address. Drive files will be in a folder named with your Binghamton University email address.
If there is any error with transferring any files, you can view the files that did not transfer by returning to the Transfer your content window in your Binghamton email account and clicking on Start Transfer and then clicking on View History. Any files that were not transferred will be listed in the history.
If you want to download the content to a file that can be imported to another account or service, select Data & Privacy from the left side menu and select Download or Delete your data then Download your data:
Depending on how many messages and how much content you have this could take several hours or days to complete.
