How to Save Your ICSD Google Data

Unfortunately, Google prevents you from changing the ownership of Google files owned by your @icsd.k12.ny.us account to a personal @gmail account. Instead, use Google Takeout to download your data or make copies of shared documents with your personal account, or use the Google Migrator app.

Google Takeout

Google Takeout allows you to download your ICSD Google data, including Drive files, bookmarks, contacts, calendar items, and much more.

4. Open the file just shared, open the File menu, and then click "Make a Copy."
5. The copy of the document will be owned by your personal account.

How to Set Up Google Drive

Think of Google Drive as your stash of files and folders that follows you wherever you go. With Google Drive, you can access files, folders, and Google documents (such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides) from a web browser or any mobile device on which you've installed Google Drive.

Google Drive should be installed by default on all ICSD Mac or PC computers. To start using Google Drive, click on the Google Drive icon  on your PC system tray (lower right) or your Mac menu bar (top right). You will then be prompted to sign in with your ICSD Gmail username and password. 

With Google Drive, you can: 

1. Sync and upload existing files to Drive.
2. Set up offline access to Google Drive. Remove this step if you haven't enabled offline access for Chrome users in your organization.
3. Access your files on your Android or iOS device (see: Google Drive on a mobile device).

How much storage do I have for Google Drive files?

You have unlimited storage to use for Drive, Gmail, and photos.

Where can I get more information about Google Drive?

To get started with Google Drive, visit the Google Apps Learning Center.

How to Set Printing Defaults on Mac or PC

The new printer installs with two-sided printing enabled in the default setting. Follow the directions below to change different printing and finishing options and then saved them. This is how you can send print jobs with stapling and other features.

3. Click “Show Details” if needed.
4. Click the third from the top drop-down menu (usually labeled with the name of the program being printed from) to reveal different sets of options.
5. Select “Layout/Finish” from this drop-down menu. You can select 1-sided or 2-sided on the layout pane and stapling options on the finish pane.
6. Once you’ve configured all the settings, click the button next to the word “presets,” which is usually called “Default Settings” and select “Save Current Settings as Preset.”
7. Choose a name for your preset and save the preset “only for this printer.”

PC Printing Defaults

1. Click the start menu and then click “devices and printers.”
2. Right-click on the print queue in question and select “printing preferences.”
