Move files from My Drive to Shared Drives - Google Drive
Move individual files from My Drive to Shared Drives:
Option #1
Navigate to https://drive.google.com
Select file(s) within "My Drive"
Drag files(s) from "My Drive" to the folder within "Shared Drives"
Option #2
Navigate to https://drive.google.com
Select file(s) within "My Drive"
Right-click and select "Move to..."
Navigate to destination folder within "Shared Drives"
Click "Move"
Move entire folders from My Drive to Shared Drives:
The content owner should contact the Helpdesk and submit a request to have an system administrator migrate the content from a Google Drive and Shared Drives.
Considerations:
Do not move content between Shared Drives and other folders or domains unless necessary since permission conflicts can occur.
You cannot move shared content from another domain to My Drive.
Moving files changes ownership to the Shared Drives.
Any content owned by someone in a different domain is not moved. The content remains in the original My Drive location.
Migrating folders creates a copy of the folder structure in the destination Shared Drives. Users should update any direct links to point to the new Shared Drives folders.
Note: While permissions explicitly granted on individual files will be preserved, any permissions granted on (or inherited from) folders are not copied.
Moved files remain in the user's Shared with me and Recent locations.
Files are removed from any other Drive location (such as My Drive) when moved to a Shared Drive.
If a super admin moves content to a Shared Drive, any hidden files are also moved and visible to all Shared Drive members.
File permissions and links are not changed. People who are not Shared Drive members can still access the file with previously granted permission.
