• Are you able to transfer your bwscampus.com email and Google Drive items to your personal Gmail account?
  Yes, you are able to transfer all of your email and Google Drive items to a personal Gmail account by using one of the two methods documented at this link. Whichever method you choose, it is IMPORTANT that you understand that a typical, personal Gmail account only gives you 5GB of storage space.
  
  Your bwscampus.com account has unlimited storage space so you have to check to make sure you have enough room in your personal account to transfer your bwscampus.com items.

3.1. Chrome freezes when trying to print from Google Drive

If you are using Google Chrome and it runs slowly or freezes or seems to cause your computer to freeze, this can be due to too many open Google Drive tabs.

Be sure to close Google Drive and Google Drive docs when not in use to preserve system resources and to avoid page errors.

Downloading copies of the docs to your computer and printing locally is also helpful.

3.2. Mail "Loading" Error

When using Mozilla Firefox, you may see an issue after you send an e-mail, the yellow "Loading..." status appears and never goes away, possibly leaving mail unable to be sent.

This issue is caused from the "Send in Background" Lab in GMail. To resolve this issue, please disbale this Lab in your Mail Settings.
