You have all of this Google data that you would like to take with you to college or to look over as you sit on the beach in your retirement. There is something called Google Takeout but that only goes so far.

Take a look at this very inexpensive site. Not only is it wicked simple but it goes way beyond what Google Takeout can do. GradGopher transfers all your Google Drive folders from your work account to your personal account and it will make a copy of all the docs that were shared with you. That alone is the killer feature, one that Google can't do. It will also maintain your folder structure making finding your documents a snap.

Just sign in with both accounts and set up a time to copy your data. It is that simple.

Note: It does copy over all your emails if you want. Attachments? You bet! Sometimes it is just nice to have all of that information to use later on.

Setting Your Gmail Away Message

You will be away from your classroom for a bit and probably won't be checking email on a regular basis. Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4.
