Want to move files between Google Drive accounts without downloading and reuploading them? Learn how you can do that!
Google Drive gives a generous 15GB of free storage. It sounds a lot but let's remember that this space is shared by your files on Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. So, when you run out of space on one of your Drive accounts, you can transfer files to another. Most of us have more than one Google Drive account, but Google hasn't yet given us an easy way to transfer files from one Google Drive to another seamlessly. You have to rely on a workaround to move files from one account to another. How to Transfer Files Between Google Drive AccountsIf you want to move files from one account to another without downloading and re-uploading them, here's what you have to do. However, if you're more concerned with how to get files from your computer to your phone, check out this list of the fastest file transfer methods between PCs and mobile devices. 1. Sharing the Document With Your Other Google Drive AccountIf you just want to transfer one document over, you can do a one-off share to your other account. It doesn't require a lot of setup, and it's really easy to do.
You can also use Google Takeout to transfer the complete archive of your data to another account. 2. Make a "Transfer Folder" in Google DriveThe above trick is wonderful if you want to do a one-off transfer from one account to another. However, if you feel you'll want to do more transfers in the future, you can make a folder that automatically shares files placed within it amongst your Google accounts.
