Why You Might Need to Migrate Google Drive Data?
Migrating Google Drive data isn’t just something tech pros do—regular folks like you and me have plenty of reasons to make the switch.
- Switching Accounts for Work or School
Maybe you're graduating, changing jobs, or moving from a personal to a professional account. Whatever the reason, your files need to come with you.
- Running Out of Storage Space
Google only gives you so much free storage. If your account is bloated with old files, transferring some to another account can help clear things up.
- Consolidating Multiple Accounts
Tired of remembering which file is in which Drive? Consolidating all your data into one account can save a ton of time and hassle.
Common Methods for Migrating Google Drive Files
Before we talk about tools, let’s look at what most people try first.
Option 1. Manual Download and Upload
The oldest trick in the book—and the most tedious.
Steps to Manually Transfer Files
- Log in to your old Google Drive.
- Select the files/folders you want to move.
- Click “Download”.
- Log in to your new Google Drive.
- Upload those files.
Time-consuming? Absolutely. Efficient? Not really.
Option 2. Sharing and Making a Copy
You can share your files with your new account and make copies there. It’s quicker than downloading but not perfect.
Limitations of the Sharing Method
- File ownership doesn’t transfer.
- Shared files can be confusing to manage.
- You might need to reconfigure sharing settings later.
So, what’s the better way?
