Google Takeout Transfer Error: "Transfer Your Content is only available to authorized G Suite for Education Accounts."

Environment

U-M Google, Google Takeout Transfer

Issue

When I go to Google Takeout Transfer, the following error is shown: "Transfer Your Content is only available to authorized G Suite for Education Accounts. Please contact your administrator, or sign in with another Google Account."

Resolution

Google Takeout Transfer is available at the University of Michigan.

This error is caused when you are logged in to more than one Google account in your browser. Log out of all Google accounts and log in to your U-M Google account only, then try again. You can also use an incognito window in your browser to log in to your U-M Google account.

Additional Information

The regular Google Takeout tool is also available if exporting more than Drive and Gmail data is desired. (Refer to Getting Started With Google Takeout for more information.)
