Leaving Granite? Be Sure to Backup Your Data

Graduating high school seniors, retiring/resigning employees, and others who are leaving Granite School District will need to back up their data saved on their granitesd.org accounts. These accounts will not be accessible after graduation, retirement, or leaving the district, and saved files will be lost unless they are backed up. 

This year, graduating high school seniors will have until the end of the 2020-2021 first quarter to back up their granitesd.org data.

View online instructions for backing up your data, or follow the step-by-step guide below.

Backing Up Your Granitesd.org Data Granitesd.org accounts are no longer active or accessible after graduation, retirement or leaving the district for other reasons. It’s important to backup any data you want to preserve. Allow yourself plenty of time to do this since it can be a lengthy process depending on how much data you will be backing up. High school seniors will have until the end of the 2020-2021 first quarter (October 22) to access their district accounts. Please contact your school or department director if you have questions about this process. Step 1 Get a personal device or hard drive with enough space to transfer your data. Step 2 Go to: takeout.google.com and log in to your granitesd.org account. Step 3 Select that data you’d like to export from the list of Google products. Deselect those you do not wish to backup. Be sure Google Drive is selected if you want to save all your documents and other saved files created with your granitesd account. Click Next. Step 4 Choose how you’d like the data to exported. Large amounts of data will be split into multiple smaller downloads and emailed to youe. Be sure your personal device or hard drive has sufficient memory to download all your data. Click Create Archive. Once your data is exported, you will have one week to retrieve your archive. **NOTE: Some staff and students have opted to share their files from their granitesd.org account to a personal Google account instead of using Google Takeout. The files will be lost using this method if you do not make the personal account “The Owner” of the documents. Once the granitesd.org account is deactivated, the documents will no longer be available, even if they are shared to a new account unless ownership istransferred. The preferred method of backing up your documents is by using Google Takeout as shown above.
