3: Share Your Data
- Right-click on the file or folder you want to transfer.
- Select “Share.”
- Enter the email address associated with your target Google account (the account you want to transfer to).
- Choose the sharing permissions, such as “Can Edit” or “Can View.”
- Click “Send” or “Share.”
- Repeat this process for each file or folder you want to transfer.
4: Accept Shared Files in the Target Account

7: Verify and Delete (Optional)
- After transferring all the files, double-check to ensure everything has been successfully moved.
- You can then delete the shared files from your source account if you no longer need them there.
8: Update collaborative projects (if applicable).
- If you’re collaborating with others on Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, update the sharing settings in your new account so you can continue working together seamlessly.
