Google Apps Script To Copy Entire Google Drive File Structure; How To Avoid Timeouts?

Question

My organization is switching to a Google Business account, and everyone needs to transfer their Drive files to their new accounts. Drive will not allow transfer of ownershi

Answer 1

I know you would like a easy, programmatic way to do this, but it may be easiest to install Google Drive for Desktop and have them right-click, copy, paste.

The idea:

1. Create a single folder in which the user puts every item of their Drive. (I see you have already done that.)
2. Share that folder with their new account. (I see you have already done that, as well.)
3. Sign into their new account with Drive for Desktop.
4. Copy the folder in Drive for Desktop and paste it right back in. Ownership gets transferred to the new account.

Just a thought.
