Student File Transfer admin guide

Despite its name, Student File Transfer can be used by anyone in your organization with a school-provided Adobe account, including faculty and staff.

Adobe Student File Transfer replaces the old Student Asset Migration service, which was introduced in 2020.

For IT admins:

• If you have offered Student Asset Migration to your student body in the past, you should familiarize yourself with the changes between the old service and Student File Transfer and ensure those changes are incorporated into any instructions you prepare for your users.
• Unlike the older Student Asset Migration service, Student File Transfer does not require you to enable student access via the Asset Migration Setting in the Adobe admin console.
• Adobe Student File Transfer does not currently support Behance or Portfolio assets as part of its normal file copy process. However, if a student used either of these products during their time at school and has an existing profile on their school account, they can migrate those assets to a personal account as well, using separate processes. Instructions about how to use the Portfolio transfer service are documented here, and information about moving a Behance profile between accounts can be found here.   
• The Behance and Portfolio tools are both one-time account migrations, unlike Student File Transfer, which is an anytime file copy service. Students who use these tools should consider those differences when determining their file and account transfer plans.

• The student account must be an Enterprise ID or Federated ID account to be used with Student File Transfer. Users who try to use the service with other account types will get an error message.
• Student File Transfer can be used repeatedly, at any time, to transfer assets between a school account and a personal account, as long as the student has access to a valid school account.
