The drive member must have at least Content Manager permissions to be able to move the file into a Shared DriveĪ different external (or internal) drive member can then move that file out and will be assigned ownership at that time The file becomes “owned” by the organization that owns the Shared Drive.Įxternal (or intenal) drive members can move files into a Shared Drive which then automatically switches the ownership to the GW organization Shared Drives are a special location because individual file ownership is stripped from any file that gets moved into a Shared File. This method involves using a GW Shared Drive as a temporary intermediate location to allow ownership transfer.
If you have access to a Google Workspace Shared Drive, there is a workaround that will allow you to Transfer the ownership of any file to a person in another “organization”.
Using the Shared Drive Exception to Transfer Ownership Between Domains Then move the files from the old external folders to the new Shared Drive folders. This means that the files can be moved (using the MOVE function or drag-n-drop method) but you will need to create the folder structure ahead of time. Internal collaborators may move files and folders. The Shared Drive Exception: See below for a way to indirectly make all of these scenarios possibleĮxternal collaborators may move files - but NOT folders- into the a Shared Drive owned by the organization. Transfer ownership from GW1 GW2 = No, because different organization Transfer ownership from GW Gmail = No, because different organization Transfer ownership from GMail GMail = Yes, because same organization Transfer ownership within same Google Workspace ( GW1 GW1) = Yes, because same organization Gmail is considered an “organization” in this rule, so GMail users may freely transfer ownership to each other: Ownership can only be transferred to another user in the same organization as the current owner“ If you try, you will get the following error
Only the owner of a file/folder can transfer its ownership to another person.įile/Folder ownership may not be transferred from one “organization” to another.
Only the owner of a file/folder can move a file from a "My Drive" over a GW Shared Drive. Well there are a few rules (hurdles, actually), that Google has put in place: Google Drive Rules for Migrating and Transferring Ownership: Ok, so you want to migrate your Google Drive files from a gmail account to your new Google Workspace account.
