Importing a Course to a new institution, but file size is OVER the 500MB limit.

Hello! 

I have been employed at the same institution and a Canvas user for the past 4 years. I resigned from this position and will lose account access in just a few weeks. 

While I have not yet found a new position, I am going to move all of my courses to a free K-12 Canvas account so I won't lose what I've spent the past 4 years building. 

Normally, I use the Canvas Export Package function. This time, the files were too big. I shared them to the Commons, but then the import from Commons function only allows for 500MB as well.

If I was copying to course within my institution, it's not an issue at all. But since I am trying to share with a different account, I can't seem to find a way around it. 

Is there a less tedious way to import my entire course outside of my current institution account?

Will I really have to go through each module, share to Commons, and then import individually?

Thank you!
