Fired From Job - Account Closing :(

Good morning,

I was with Keller Williams Realty and they fired me right before Christmas. I had my entire life in this account which I believe is going to be deactivated soon, didn’t think I had anything to worry about.

I had everything for Street View/Local Guides assigned to this account and have to ask, is it possible at all to transfer to the new account? I think I already know the answer. Just trying to salvage what I can at this point before they take everything away :confused:

the new account is RealtorDuJour - no more free company emails for me.

Hi @user_not_found , I’m very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that you are correct: it is not possible so far to transfer your contributions to another account.

Our fellow Connect Moderator @ErmesT proposed an idea to allow it; however, it is still open. You can check it here: Tool for transferring a Local Guide Account

My best wishes,

Alexandre

Hi @user_not_found

Unfortunately, as @AlexandreCampbell said, there is actually no way to transfer your account on another one.

A few tips

  • Use Google Takeout to backup your data ASAP
  • Do not use another business account, (your new account appear to be a business) because a business cannot subscribe to the Local Guides program

Then you will have to upload again your contributions. I am sorry about that, but the use of a personal account is the best way to contribute and to use personal information and data

I’ve been working on data transfer, had 2.85 tb and on a hotel WiFi lol. I pulled my street view data, and transferring videos to photos>YouTube. Anything 360 I have original, so it gets tossed.

This is the old account, I am a realtor, so I was doing local guide stuff while running around, we are independent contractors so it feels like a compliment, but nothing to profit from, I stopped here cause of the unlimited storage, so now need to get creative . Thank you for input

Hi @user_not_found ,

Thanks for reaching out to us. And I am very sorry to hear that you got fired from your job.

As @AlexandreCampbell and @ErmesT already mentioned, there is no option to transfer the contributions for one account to another.

P.S.: Your post was moved to the How-tos board, as this would be helpful to fellow Local Guides searching for similar questions. And I will accept @ErmesT comment as a solution, because he gave you an accurate answer and suggested a tool for backup.

Don’t worry about the storage. If you set Google Photos storage to “high quality”, you will have unlimited storage for your photos

Thank you! I will have to start over again, but I have all my contributions from before, so just means I have to reupload it all… ack

I just finished with cleaning out the account after many, many, many tries. The 360 content was all safe, just need to find where it is all at. Maybe I’ll find new things to post I forgot about.

Thank you, will return when realtordujour gets back up in level

You could consider making a deal with your old employer to keep access at least until you have backed up everything. All the best.

@MortenCopenhagen

He can’t read your reply anymore. As you can see, the profile has been closed.

What about to close the thread, @MoniV ?
