Allow domain users to transfer ownership to personal accounts

[cbrendel]

We have some teachers leaving the organization that would like to take their GDrive contents with them. I know you can transfer ownership between domain users OR between regular Google accounts. I am also aware of Google Takeout (which we have enabled), but Takeout is a bit cumbersome with the 2GB zip chunks you have to download and then the whole converting everything to MS Office file formats.

I have to believe there is a setting in the admin console that allows our domain users to transfer ownership to non-domain accounts, but for the life of me cannot find the setting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does the Takeout Transfer option not work for you? https://takeout.google.com/transfer?pli=1

Oh my goodness. I'm an idiot. Thank you.

I didn't realize there was a transfer option, and when viewing the Takeout page it does not give any indication that I can transfer.

Thank you, again.
