How Do I Migrate My Google Drive Data Between Accounts Without Third-Party Software?

Asked By CuriousCat123 On

I'm dealing with a scenario where I have two Google Workspace accounts and I need to migrate 120GB of data from my old account to my new one. The hitch? I only have access to a Chromebook with limited storage and a work PC where I can't install any third-party applications. I've read mixed reviews about using Google Takeout. The files are just organized in folders on my Drive, but I'm restricted to moving only 50 files at a time to the shared drive, which feels like an endless and frustrating task. I thought Gemini, being a Google product, might help with this, but it has led me down several unhelpful paths. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can actually grab a 128GB USB drive pretty cheap, like around $12 on Amazon. If you're okay with spending a bit more, there are well-known brands for under $25.

One possible solution is to share the folders from your old account to your new one, then copy them over manually. It might not be ideal, but it could speed things up a bit!

Yeah, I've tried that too, and it just doesn't seem to work at all!

If you can, try to borrow an external storage device with at least 128GB. Otherwise, purchasing a decent one with a money-back guarantee can also work as a last resort!

Just a heads up, Gemini really isn’t reliable when it comes to advising on Google products!
