Follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Log in<\/strong> to the <strong>source Google Drive<\/strong> account and select the <strong>files<\/strong> to transfer.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Then, right-click and select <strong>Share<\/strong> from the menu. A dialog opens.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Add a new <strong>email address<\/strong> where you want to move data and tap <strong>Done<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Further, down the arrow icon, set permission to <strong>Editor<\/strong> and tap<strong> Send<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">This will transfer Google Drive to another account with access.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Afterward, <strong>log in<\/strong> to the <strong>target account<\/strong> and check files under <strong>Shared with Me<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lastly, move these shared files and folders to <strong>My Drive <\/strong>to keep them safe. Or, maybe even <strong>Download<\/strong> them locally.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t move the files to My Drive, they will be automatically removed if the real owner deletes them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Cons:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Best suited only for small datasets and individual owners.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Doesn\u2019t transfer ownership and only allows creating a copy.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Time-consuming process for large files and doesn\u2019t retain timestamps.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\">2) Through Google Takeout\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>If you want to move the entire Google Drive data in a single go securely for free, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Start <a href=\"https:\/\/takeout.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Google Takeout<\/strong><\/a> and <strong>sign in<\/strong> to your account to access services.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Deselect All<\/strong> and then choose the <strong>Drive<\/strong> option to move. Click <strong>Next Step<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In the delivery method, choose <strong>Add to Drive<\/strong> and select <strong>Export Once<\/strong> frequency.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Pick a <strong>size<\/strong> and<strong> type<\/strong> for your transfer, and finally, click <strong>Link Accounts<\/strong> <strong>and Create Export<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Follow the on-screen instructions to connect accounts and wait until the final process completes.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Cons:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Takeout supports transferring only files created or uploaded by you and not those received by share.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It may take hours, weeks, or days for Takeout to transfer files from one Google Drive to another based on data volume.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">With an account size over 10 GB, Google Takeout may split the files into several parts.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The resultant data will be in a ZIP file, which you need to uncompress to actually access the data.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\">3) Download and Re-Upload\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>This is a traditional way to transfer Google Drive to another account, which requires lots of manual effort. Steps are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Sign in<\/strong> to your <strong>old Google Drive<\/strong> account and create a <strong>new folder<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, <strong>move<\/strong> all the Drive data that you want to transfer into the new root directory.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Afterward, right-click the <strong>new folder<\/strong> and press <strong>Download<\/strong> to save data on the PC.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Furthermore, log in to your <strong>new Google Drive<\/strong> or another account and go to <strong>My Drive<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">At last, click<strong> Upload Files<\/strong> and load the downloaded data from earlier into it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Cons:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Consumes a lot of time for transferring data between accounts.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Unsuitable for bulk datasets and no guarantee of data fidelity.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It takes up local resources and disk space with human efforts.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Stable internet connectivity and unzipped data are a must for upload.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\">4) Via Desktop App\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Another way to move Google Drive file to another account is with the use of its Desktop application. The steps to follow here are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Initially, download and install the <strong>Google Drive Desktop App<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, add both <strong>source<\/strong> and<strong> destination<\/strong> <strong>drives<\/strong> to it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Further, check <strong>Windows File Explorer<\/strong> for both drives.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Later, open both drives in separate windows to make the transfer.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In the end, <strong>drag and drop<\/strong> files between the two drives.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Cons:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">May slow down the system when uploading large and multiple files.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You need to ensure that both added drives in the desktop app belong to Google.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Some files may go missing or be duplicated, even with a lot of time and effort.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\">5) With Google Admin Console<\/h4>\n<p>The final manual way to transfer Google Drive to another account is through ownership transfer by GAC. However, there are some prerequisites for this method.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-Migration Checklist<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Suspend the account of the current owner temporarily to avoid modifications.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Verify file hierarchy structure for the new and previous owners aligns with eachother.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Ensure that if you are a new owner, you do not add any files during the transfer.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Move Trash and Orphan files to My Drive too if you wish to transfer them to another account.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, the steps for the transfer are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to the <strong>Admin Console<\/strong> from your Google Drive and click on <strong>Apps.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, under <strong>Google Workspace<\/strong>, select <strong>Drive and Docs<\/strong>, and click <strong>Transfer Ownership<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Further, enter the <strong>email address<\/strong> of the <strong>source account <\/strong>in <strong>From User <\/strong>and of the <strong>destination account<\/strong> in <strong>To User<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">At last, press <strong>Transfer Files<\/strong> and wait until the process to move files from one Google Drive to another completes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Cons:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Only beneficial for users with admin access, permissions, and credentials.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Moves data only between two Google Drive accounts.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pro_Way_to_Transfer_Files_from_One_Google_Drive_to_Another\"><\/span>Pro Way to Transfer Files from One Google Drive to Another<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dealing with large datasets, cross-domain accounts, and bulk file volumes migration requires expert solutions. <strong>SysInfo Google Drive Migration Software <\/strong>is a dependable and industry-specialized tool that enables streamlined data transfers with zero loss.
