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
2. Log into MyVI
3. Launch the Chrome Web browser
4. Navigate to your on-line storage provider (from step 1)
5. The following instructions are for Google Drive; if you use another service, they will be similar:
   1. Log in   Select New -> File Upload
   2. Navigate to This PC
   3. Open your H drive
   4. Select files to move to the cloud service

   5. Depending on the amount of data, you might need to move a few files and let that upload complete before moving the next set of folders

Move your Box Data

1. Create a PERSONAL Box  account using a NON-W&L email account
2. Log into you W&L box account
3. Click on the "Share" for any folders you want to move and select "Invite collaborators"
4. 
5. Add the account from Step 1 as a "Co-Owner".  They will appear as Pending
6. 
7. Log into your PERSONAL Box account and accept the "Collaborator Invitation" from Step 3 (this will update the collaboration from Pending to Co-Owner)
8. Log back into your W&L email address; click on the folder you have shared out.
9. In the Upper Right will be a list of people you have shared with; change the sharing for the Personal Account from "co-owner" to "owner"
10. Click OK on the following message
11. 
12. If you log back into Box with the PERSONAL account, you can remove your W&L account as an Editor
13. All files on the folder from step 3 are now owned by your personal account

Your W&L email

You can continue using your W&L email. If you decide not to use your W&L email, please set a temporary forward rule on your account as the account will be removed.

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