- Drive on Web and Mobile: Timing may vary depending on the specific platform.
- Drive File Stream: Beginning on May 31, 2019, with the Drive File Stream version 31 release, "Team Drives" will be renamed to "Shared Drives" in the Drive File Stream navigation.
Feel free to read additional information regarding this release.
LEAVING KISD BUT STILL WANT ACCESS TO YOUR GOOGLE FILES??
- Teachers leaving Klein can use Google Takeout to create an archive file of their Klein Google content. Archived content can be stored on an external hard drive or uploaded to a personal online storage location.
- This Google support page provides additional information about the process and results.
- Items which are not included in the export can usually be downloaded and added to saved files. Depending on sharing privileges for the document, teachers may need to make a copy of some items in order to download them.
- Remember that resources created for use in Klein while an individual has been employed in Klein remain property of the district. Teachers should not remove resources that teams have used and continue using.
- Student products and assignments are part of students’ education records and should remain in Klein in accordance with FERPA.
- Staff who plan to use the Google Takeout process to download a copy of their files should not wait until the last contract day to do so. Encourage staff to begin this process early next week so that it can be re-done if an initial attempt does not work.
