Warning

Check the storage associated with your UWF Google Drive and your personal Google account before starting this process. Personal Google accounts come with 15GB of storage by default. If your UWF Google account contains more than 15GB, consider the following options prior to starting the migration:

  • Deleting files from your Google Drive that you no longer need
  • Downloading files locally to your device (keep in mind local files will not automatically be backed up)
  • Purchasing additional storage on your personal account through Google

Please Note: By default, the migration process will select both Drive and Gmail. Upon arriving at step 3 of this process (shown in screenshot below), we strongly recommend selecting to only migrate Google Drive content.
