  1. If possible, the employee should grant access to his/her Gmail account by following this FAQ.

         a. Access to email will be limited to 30 days.
         b. If a supervisor needs access to Dropbox or Google Drive files, every effort should be made to identify
             what files and folders are needed. Transferring entire drives is discouraged because of data privacy
             concerns. Supervisors must confirm there is a legitimate business need for access the information
             and that no personal or personnel information will be shared. Inappropriate use of employee
             information, data or university technology resources may result in University disciplinary actions.
