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.
