Here are the Google Help Docs for Copying and Archiving Classes (mouse over the words to better see the link)
Here are Cheryl Kissel's words on the difference betweeen Copying and Archiving
Just to clarify the difference between copying and archiving:
archiving saves your class as it is now, students, grades, etc. and just makes it inactive. You can still reuse assignments and materials from them (in the Create menu under Classwork). Copying the class makes a new copy of the Classroom, including all of the assignments and materials, save as drafts that you can open, edit, and assign through the coming year. It does not transfer items in the stream or student lists, so you can start fresh with a new Classroom for a new year, but retaining all of the classwork.I highly recommend that you do both! Copy your classroom to make it easy to follow basically the same curriculum units next year, and archive the current year class so it's not cluttering up the page of current classes for 2020-21, but is still accessible to you.

Doctopus & Goobric
Click on this Link to explain how to use these tools
Doctopus is a Google Sheets add-on that “ingests” assignment information from Google Classroom, while the Goobric Chrome extension attaches a digital rubric so teachers can grade and comment on student work within a single browser tab.
Basically, the attached rubric appears at the top of the student’s assignment in Docs, and with a few easy clicks, your individual comments and the rubric data are time stamped and appended to the bottom of the Doc for each student to view. This information is also sent to a Google Sheet for your easy reference and analysis from anywhere at any time.
Here is some information on a great tool called Back-up and Sync
This tools allows you to create a connection to your Google Drive just as if it is a local fine (like your old OneDrive.) So you can put files in a folder that automatically syncs with your drive and you can go there to get files from your drive.
