How To Move A Google Drive Folder From One Account To Another

In this video, Timmy shows you how to move a Google Drive folder (and all the files in it) from one account to another without having to download and re-upload it all!

In a different video, Timmy shows you how to move specific files from one Google Drive account to another so if you're interested in that you'll want to click the link below:

But in this video, Timmy shows you how to move entire folders from one Google Drive account to another.

Note: If you just want to share files or folders to a different account, you'll want to follow the steps in this video instead:

if i remove access for the original google drive folder will it clear space there?

[rafeedrahman]

This is still just file transfer. There can be many other folders inside the folder that we are trying to transfer.

after transferring the folder of 10gb in another drive new drive storage remain same & 10gb storage is seen in the previous one but why??

[tarsharimehta]

What if there are multiple folders inside the shared folder

[gwyndavies]

I don't know if it's because of a change following an update in the last 8 months but when I try and make a copy of the files I've shared to my second google drive the dropdown list doesn't offer me the option of making a copy. So I'm stuck half way. Is there a way through?

[farmgirl]

But can I delete the folder from the first account?

[gwyndavies]

After more attempts of find the answer I've notice someone else had an icon that appeared labelled 'add to my drive' instead of a dropdown list. However, that icon doesn't appear for me either.

But it still uses the storage of the old drive ? how to transfer it?

[Shadoufang]

It's actually still file transfer, not folder transfer T_T
If I have a folder with dozens of subfolders within subfolders, that's a whole different story.
It's still manually creating new folders in the destination, then manually moving files into each corresponding folder.
This is a chore because Google disabled the "make copy" of a shared folder that was previously available. Super pain in the @&$. T_T

[mohammedrofique]

Sir, welcome and how to transfer other folder?

[leodebrito]

Works only with files. I have a folder with sub folders and I can`t find an option to copy it.

[TheoneQ]

But I have files on top of each other, what is the solution?

[practicalmoney]

The point is when you have thousands of file in a folder and many folder as that this will not help
