Moving Files from Google My Drive to Shared Drives

ITS recommends moving files from My Drive to shared drives using Google Drive through one’s browser rather than using the Google Drive app client. Below are the basic steps to move files, however there are a number of considerations to bear in mind when moving files. Please read Google’s extensive “Move files & folders into shared drives” help document before proceeding.

1. Go to drive.google.com in a web browser.
2. Drag and drop the file(s) from My Drive to shared drives using the left sidebar.
3. The time required to move the file(s) depends on the size of the file(s). A message will appear confirming when the file(s) was moved successfully.
