Backing up Files

End of School Year 2019

Before you turn in your iPad for the summer, you will need to back up any files you want to save.

​

This is your last chance to backup your files, as all iPads will be wiped on the day they are collected.

​

​

Who would already consider themselves a semi pro at backing up content to their drive?

Be a helper! Thanks!

Turning Off Passcodes

​

If you have enabled a passcode on your iPad, you must disable it before turning in your iPad for the summer.

Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (along left side menu) and tap “Turn Passcode Off.”

General rules for backing up files

• Use Google Drive to save your files to your @students.op97.org account.
• Many files save into your Photos app (Camera Roll), then you upload them to your Google Drive app.
• It is recommended to create folders in your Google Drive to organize all your files (Photos, iMovie, Notability, Book Creator, etc.).
• Note: You might not be able to edit all projects after moving them to your Drive.

​

Back Up Pictures and Videos

-Find and tap the plus sign.

-Click “Upload” then “Photos and Videos.”

-Access your Camera Roll.
