Google Takeout

undefined

Google Takeout makes it possible to copy and transfer these kinds of files from your ISD284 account to another Google Account:

  • Email in Gmail (not contacts, chats, or tasks)
  • Documents that you own in Google Drive 
  • Documents in My Drive

To learn more about this option, follow these instructions from Google. To begin the transfer, start here.

If instead, you just want to have an archive of your ISD 284 account, you can export and download your data from the Google products you use, like your email, calendar, and photos. In a few easy steps, create an archive to keep for your records or use the data in another service. 

To learn more about this option, follow these instructions from Google. To download your data, begin here. 

Back Up Your iPad

Back up your documents from Notability, iMovie, Explain Everything, and Camera Roll to your Google Drive account. See directions and video below

App Storage

 

Check to see which apps are using space on your iPad. Those that store to the cloud can be deleted and re-installed to create more space on your iPad. Those that store data within the app (Notability or Explain Everything) need to be backed up prior to deleting the app or erasing the iPad. Check your iPad storage by going to Settings - General - iPad Storage.
