How to Move Folders From One Drive to Another

Unfortunately, it’s more than one step to move folders from one drive to another. Below are three ways you can get this done.

Share the Google Docs File or Folder With Another Drive

This option is only applicable to files. On Google Drive, you can share a folder but you cannot copy an entire folder and make it your own. As a workaround, copy individual files and then create a duplicate folder to organize them. Here are the steps.

Download and Re-Upload Google Docs to Another Drive

This obvious process is painstaking but quicker when you need to move many files and folders.

Use Google Takeout

Google Takeout is the default method to create a backup archive of your entire data under a Google account. But you can use Google Takeout to download folders and then move them to another computer or Drive account.
