Hi folks!

If you are leaving ISPP and want to make sure your blog and Google Drive contents come with you, this post can help! I made two quick videos to show you the steps, and there is a guide below. We're sad to see you go, but best of luck on your new adventures.

------------------------------
Blogger
------------------------------



You can add a personal email account as an author on the blog. 
IMPORTANT: After you accept the invitation from your new email account, you must log into blogger and change the Permissions from Author to ADMIN. 
If you do not do this step, you will be able to write on the blog but not control it.

----------------------------------
Google Drive and Gmail
----------------------------------


The best way to make backups of everything is to have another personal Gmail account. 

BEST WAY: Use Google Takeout Transfer

This will transfer all your files to your personal Gmail account.


---------------------------------------------------------

Even without a personal Gmail account, you can download everything to a computer. 


Step 1: Download a backup copy of everything on your school Google Account before it is deactivated. 
You don't need to take everything, most important is Gmail, Google Drive and Blogger, and then submit it to send you a download link to your email.
After you submit it, check your email to download all your files from Google Drive.
It takes about 10 minutes to get the email.

Step 2: Open the .ZIP file that you downloaded to see all your files on your computer, or copy them to your personal Gmail/Google Drive account for a permanent backup
