Attention Seniors and any student leaving FCPS after June
Please follow these instructions to back up your Google Drive and school network files so you can take your work with you when you leave FCPS. The instructions can be accessed with an @fcpsschools.net account. Page 1 of the instructions shows you how to back up the files that are on your school laptop or your student network drive. Page 2 of the instructions shows you how to download your Google Drive to a personal device.
You will start by backing up any files stored on your device or your network drive to your Google Drive. If you are a virtual student and have files stored on the FCPS network drive, you will need to go to any FCPS school and restart your laptop while on the FCPS network. This can be accomplished from the parking lot, no need to enter the building. After you restart your device and while you are still on the FCPS network you can follow Page 1 to secure the back-up of files from your device and your network drive files to your Google Drive. If you are graduating or leaving FCPS you will then need to transfer your Google Drive to a personal device (external hard drive, USB/flash drive, etc.), which is on Page 2.
