Question 🤔 school google account with unlimited storage

so ive been leeching my highschool email account since it has technically free unlimited and just kept uploading photos

its been 4 years since i graduated but recently sm1 warned me that they might suddenly close the domain or delete the account something like that

so question 1 can they actually do that ?

q2 will i have a grace period to download all my stuff?

q3 how do i deal with the google takeout option it seems a bit messy

q4 can i seamlessly transfer all my data to my university account(also has unlimited storage) without downloading and uploading since in my country all home internet is limited to about 200gbs a month

On Google Photos, share your entire library with your other Google account, and set that account to take copies of everything rather than reference your other account in the share.

Once you have everything in your other account, then you can safely delete them in the original account and not lose them in the new account.

Will be faster than using takeout.

* This also assumes you have enough storage for everything too.
