How to Copy your Amityschools.org Documents to your Outside Google Account

  • Open your Amityschools.org Drive.

  • Multiple select (highlight) all the documents you want to keep.

  • Right click to share them with your OUTSIDE gmail account (viewing privileges is enough).

  • Log out of Amityschools.org.

  • The originals will disappear from your outside account, and you will have only the copies.

 

Option 2: If you have a number of folders with documents.

  • Work in Chrome.

  • Open your Amityschools.org Drive.

  • Create a new folder, and drag all the folders and docs you want to copy into it.

  • Select the folder with everything in it.

  • Right click to share it with your OUTSIDE gmail account (viewing privileges is enough).

  • Log out of Amityschools.org.

 

 

  • Log into your OUTSIDE Gmail account, go to your Drive.

  • Go to the Chromestore.

  • Search for the “Copy Folder” app.
