Prepare Your Email for Transition

| 3) Transfer Your EmailsTransfer your Wharton emails to a personal account. We suggest starting this process shortly before or shortly following graduation. |
Manage Mailing Lists

1) Change Ownership for shared filesFollow Google's instructions to change the ownership for each file to another Wharton user. Yes, you have to do this for each file you want transferred! | 2) Backup all your filesUse the Google Takeout service to download a personal backup of all your Google Drive files. |
