How to migrate files between different gdrive accounts

jpengjpeng Barred

I want to cancel one of my gsuite accounts (the basic version).

there are about 28GB data stored in the drive.

I have another google one disk under the personal gmail account.

So how to migrage files from the commercial gdrive to personal one store?

Thanks in advance.

    Rclone should do the trick

  • I have only 28GB of data to transfer, so choosing a VPS for rclone is too heavy solution?

    from source account share the folder you want to migrate, then use target account and do save/move/copy/add to my drive.

    You can share + make a copy between the accounts as suggested by @Ympker in the thread I linked above.

  • If it's just 30GBs, you could run it on your local computer or get an hourly VM. Even if you copy at around 300Mbit/s, it will be done in like 10 minutes or so.

    You don't need any vps. Just share the file / folder, and on the target account just right click > make a copy. It will just take about.... 2 seconds.

    You can run rclone on your local system and move data between the two gdrive accounts (or from the gdrive account to your local system, etc.) No third party required...

  • I just found out rclone can do a server-side copy between two GDrive accounts (so no need to download/reupload or share folders) using the parameter --drive-server-side-across-configs.

    Let's say you've configured two accounts as gda: and gdb: and want to copy all files on the first into the second. You'll issue a command like this:

    rclone copy gda: gdb: --drive-server-side-across-configs

    It hits the usual 750Gb daily API limit, but it's takes less than 4 minutes to move that much data.
