What Happens When I Retire?

Suggestions for Storage

1. Create an account for on-line file storage using a NON-W&L email account (we do not make any specific recommendations, but here are a few).
   1. Box (Personal)
   2. DropBox
   3. Mega
   4. Google Drive

Move your Box Data

After your last day of employment (day zero post employment), you will lose access to Box. It is recommended that you move all personally owned data from Box before your final day of employment.

IMPORTANT: All folders/documents of yours that need to be kept for future business use at W&L should be moved to a shared folder (e.g., Box Service Folder, Department Folder, Dean's Folder, etc.).

Prior to your last day of employment, take the following steps to ensure you retain access to your personal Box files.

1. Log into your W&L box account.
2. Download all of your personal folders and files. Instructions can be found here.
3. Save them on your computer or upload them to your preferred personal cloud service (Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)

Your W&L email

You can continue using your W&L email. Setting up email forwarding to a non W&L personal email account is not allowed.

• If you would like to retain email access, complete the form found at this link prior to your last day of employment.
