Why Migrate Google Workspace to Google Workspace?

After Google rebranded G Suite as Google Workspace last year, you can now find everything you need from Google Workspace to get anything done conveniently in one place. Google Workspace provides all kinds of productive and collaborative tools online for you to work with your team and enterprise group easily without gathering together. 

Since Google Workspace is widely used among enterprises and schools, what will you face when you leave school and start to work in a company or change your job from one company to another? You cannot continue to use the same Google Workspace after these changes in consideration of classified data security. Therefore, you may have to migrate from one Google Workspace domain to another as soon as possible.

Can I Migrate Google Workspace to Google Workspace Easily?

If you want to migrate data from one Google Workspace account to another, of course, you can download all the data from the old Google Workspace account to your computer and then re-upload these data to the new account. But this manual progress will cost you lots of time and energy on account of the unstable network and a large amount of data.

Perhaps you think asking for the “Shared with me” function in Google Drive to help is also a good choice to migrate data between Google Workspace accounts. However, even with the permission of editing, you can only save the copied files from the original account to the new account.

So, here in this article, we will show you how to transfer files between Google Workspace accounts in the simplest ways without downloading and uploading. There are 5 different ways in total to help you migrate files between Google Workspace accounts fast without concern. You can read through the instructions below and choose the best method you like to perform the migration between two or multiple Google Workspace accounts.
