UW-Madison Google Workspace - Move folders from My Drive to Shared drives
This document explains how to move folders that you own from My Drive to a Shared drive that you have Manager permissions to.
-
Log into your UW-Madison Google Drive account.
-
Locate the folder you want to transfer.
-
Drag the folder over to the left-hand menu, and while still dragging, hover over the Shared Drives tab until the drop-down menu expands. Then drop the folder into your desired Shared Drive.
- Note: You can only move folders into Shared Drives that you manage. Learn more about Shared Drive permissions.
-
A “Reviewing Items” pop-up message will appear. You do not need to do anything while this message is being presented unless you would like to cancel the folder transfer.
-
Another pop-up message will appear after the first, this time prompting you for confirmation of folder transfer. Click the Move button at the bottom right of this pop-up window to continue with the folder transfer.
- After completing these steps, your folder should now be contained within the Shared Drive you selected.
