To export your files, it is recommended that:

• You save your files to a USB or portable hard drive.
  • Files can be saved to your cloud, however the upload process will be time consuming.
• To make this process more efficient, tips for exporting files include:
  • Save files to the desktop.
  • Once all files are digitized, transfer to a storage device.
  • Delete your files off the desktop before you log out.
