I have alot of projects in the cloud saved to my school email but I’m going to leave school soon and I’m pretty sure they disconnect your school email address but I use my home address for everything else, how can I keep all the cloud saved projects but change the email address to my home email ---

This is not supported at this moment, but it’s something we’ve discussed / just haven’t got around to implementing yet (@eanders I tried to find an issue for this to link this thread but I couldn’t find one in arcade / backend / etc – do you know if one exists for ‘joined accounts / change login’ or should I go ahead and file?). Right now / until we implement it, what I would suggest it to use the ‘zip download’ feature we have to make a backup, and then upload them to the new account by dragging that backup into the editor. To do this: 1. login to your current account 2. click the ‘View all’ button next to the My Projects header ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/f/f269a1c4060ac0b4c5f47136fe3c0b13a9a9261f.png) 3. Select the ‘list view’ with the menu item in the top right: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/d/d515f1bc85b67ad91e010d2aa71ac338d29c0008.png) 4. Click the circle in the top row to select all projects: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/2084e23c61a4af334ef5de61def701cc11de5a5a.png) 5. Click the ‘Download Zip’ button in the top right ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/696b2bccf19e1c5b8e8898c518bee6ad34201a4f.png) Depending on how many projects you have, this can take between a few seconds and several minutes, so please be patient. Once the download is complete, you will get a file that looks like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/3209f048aa0e259fddb00d1e00e4b598cc75cda3.png) Login to your new account, then drag that into the editor, click ‘Yes’, and the projects will all get imported. ![using-zip-download](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/846f17213d473f1ba3895913f343e60a124dddf8.gif) ---

@jwunderl The zip file export/import you outline above seems like a viable workaround. I don’t know if account linking will make it any easier than that. But it’s worth filing and tracking it!
