How to Migrate Google Drive to Another Account

Why Migrate Google Drive to Another Account?

In many circumstances, you might want to move Google Drive data to another account. For example, when you use multiple Google accounts, managing files can become overwhelming. Considering how troublesome it is when searching for a document without remembering its name. Meanwhile, there are other reasons:

• Personal and Professional Separation: Sometimes it’s beneficial to allocate some space for personal use and exclude it from professional concerns. In this case, moving your files from one account to another can be a solution.
• Storage Management: When you run out of free space, relocating some of your files to an alternative account or an external account can give you that extra space.
• Improved Organization: New accounts lead to a clearer structuring of files, making it easier to locate and access some information.

Difficulties in Moving Data Manually

Transferring files between two Google Drive accounts might be simple, but there are a few problems:

• Time-Consuming: Downloading files to the hard drive then uploading them to another Google Drive account will likely take a lot of time, particularly if the files are plenty.
• Loss of Shared Settings: When a person downloads files and re-uploads them, any shared settings and access may be lost—which could be unwarranted trouble.
• Increased Risk of Errors: This process is prone to mistakes or errors as it is possible to omit some file or upload it in a wrong manner, simply because of the manual nature of the exercise.
