Managing ownership of Docs outside the wfu.edu domain

If you're using Google Docs (Doc, Sheets, etc.) you can not make someone outside of your domain the owner of your Doc.  Instead, download the Doc from your WFU Google account and share it with the non-WFU account.

• Open the document in question
• Go to File Menu
• You may wish to make a copy (revision history will not transfer to the copy)
• Select 'Download As' and choose your format
• Email the document to the non-WFU account

For exporting and downloading your data please see this Google help page.
