Google Photos - End of Support

GOOGLE PHOTOS WILL BE DISABLED BY VIRGINIA TECH ON JAUNUARY 16, 2024 AND ALL DATA WILL BE INACCESSIBLE

ACTION ITEMS FOR YOU:

• Log into Google Photos and review the photos and videos you have stored there.
• Delete any content you no longer wish to keep.
  • Empty your Google Photos trash.
• Download all content you wish to keep.
  • If personal data, you will need to download and store this on a personal device or storage.  It is not appropriate and is against university policy to store personal data on Virginia Tech assets. 
  • If FBRI / Virginia Tech related data, you have the following options:
    • Lab related data:
      • Move the data to your Lab share.
    • Individual related data:
      • Move the data to your FBRI home directory.
      • Move the data to Microsoft One Drive.
  • Once all data has been downloaded:
    • Delete all content from Google Photos (this is an important step, do not skip!)
    • Empty your Google Photos trash.

PLEASE NOTE: We (FBRI IT) do not have access to your Google Photos or storage.  We can assist you with these tasks but cannot do them without your assistance.
