If you are connected to both Gmail accounts in the same browser, you must disconnect from one of them and be connected to the other in another browser or connect to the account in the form of incognito browsing

In light of the change in Google's policy towards academic institutions and the capacity limitation of the institutional email to 25 GB, we offer 2 possible tools for transferring information in order to reduce the account capacity between the university email account and your private Gmail account.

The first tool is called Google Takeout (the preffered tool) and is used to download all the information found in Google Photos Google Drive locally to your computer by sending ZIP files to your mailbox. You must download these files to your computer and then manually upload them to your personal Google Drive. The difference here is that this tool does not take into account the Shared with me folder. You can also choose which information you want to transfer. 

The second tool is called Google Transfer and its purpose is to transfer all the information found in the university mailbox (emails and Google Drive, not including Google Photos) to your private Gmail mailbox. It is important to note that the Shared with me folder located in Google Drive is also transferred with this tool.

 

 

Important note!

Most of the storage space is in Google Photos and Google Drive, so it is important before and after transferring the files to a private Gmail account to check whether the volume in both has dropped below 25 gigabytes.

In addition, changes made in the storage volume are not immediately visible and therefore should be checked only after 24 hours.
