Error: Transfer Your Content is only available to authorized G Suite for Education Accounts

Students attempting to use Google Takeout Transfer may get the message "Transfer Your Content is only available to authorized G Suite for Education Accounts. Please contact your administrator, or sign in with another Google Account". 

This happens when the student is logged into their personal Gmail account and then opens a new tab and logs into their student account in the save Chrome web browser instance.

To start a transfer in Google Takeout, the student must be logged into Google Accounts in separate Chrome instances.  Here is a video on how to create separate Chrome instances for each Google account you use:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMPfxabnwqI

Alternately,  login to your personal Gmail account using Google Chrome and then use a different web browser like Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge to login to your Tiger account.  Using two different web browsers keeps logins in separate instances because they are in a different application.
