Important Dates
| Switch over of HKU Connect account from Google to Microsoft (i.e., the email will be delivered to Microsoft) | June 1, 2022 |
1. Google will change our Google Workspace to read-only. As HKU’s usage is still far beyond Google’s quota, Google may delete user’s data later. 2. Free migration tool Mover.io will also be closed in early 2023. Users are recommended to migrate data as soon as possible. | 1 Jan, 2023 |
| Registration for keeping a Google account for authentication purposes | before May 31, 2023 |
1. Disable Gmail/Google Drive functions. 2. Deletion of Google accounts (if the request of keeping Google account is not accepted) 3.
