In this tutorial we will be moving files stored in your mysd50.ca Google Drive to our new sd50.bc.ca Google Drive.  This process is simply a matter of downloading from one, and uploading to the other.

Downloading your data from mysd50.ca Google Drive:


Using your web browser visit https://drive.google.com and log in with your you@mysd50.ca credentials.  Once logged into you will see a listing of all your files as in the image below:

This will compress all your files into a single file and will automatically download to your device when ready.  Depending on the number of files you have and the size of these files this process may take seconds to minutes.

Once the download is complete you will have a file in your download directory called drive-download-x.zip where the x is a string of numbers and letters specific to your download.  Double click on this file to extract the contents.
