Learn how to guide students in transferring their creative files with Student File Transfer.

Adobe Student File Transfer allows students to copy their Adobe files between their school-provided account and their personal Adobe account. The service can be used at any time, but is most commonly needed at the end of the school year when students graduate or leave class for the summer.

Note

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

Student File Transfer gives students an easy way to save their Adobe work in a personal account for the Summer or transfer files from their personal account to a school account when they return to class in the Fall. In addition, administrators can use Student File Transfer to help students preserve copies of files they created in school before their accounts are deactivated at the end of the school year

Note

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.

For more detailed information about how Student File Transfer works, refer to the Student File Transfer frequently asked questions.

Communicate with students

For students to be able to transfer files using Student File Transfer, you must share the URL (https://filetransfer.adobe.com) and transfer instructions with them. For any cases where student accounts will be deactivated after the end of the school year, be sure to notify users well in advance so they have plenty of time to complete their transfers before losing access to their files.

Student experience

Student File Transfer provides students with simple instructions for automatically transferring files between their school account and their personal Adobe ID account.

See the Student File Transfer documentation for students for a view of the step-by-step transfer process and onscreen experience shown to students.

Note
  • 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.
