When you wish to migrate your data away from Dana Hall's Google services you can utilize a service called "Google Takeout". Takeout delivers your data in a format that you will be able to use either in a personal Google account, or many other services that provide import options for these common formats. This step can be completed on any computer or device (even your iPad).

In a web browser, navigate to www.google.com/takeout

Log in with your Dana Hall Google credentials if necessary.

Step 1: Choose the items you would like to have in your Google Takeout

Select "Next Step" after choosing the items you'd like to save:

Step 2: Choose your delivery method, frequency, and destination:

We strongly recommend that you choose "Send download link via email"

2. Now you select the frequency - please choose "Export Once"

3. You will have the option to choose a file type. .Zip files can be "unpacked" on most PCs and all Macbooks. We recommend choosing .Zip files.

4. We recommend keeping the file size small so you can move your files easily.

5. Create your export!!
