User Case: Can I Transfer My Google Workspace to Another Account?

How to Transfer Google Workspace to Another Account Manually

If you're an administrator of a Google Workspace group and want to help your team users transfer files between Google Workspace accounts, or migrate Google Drive to another domain, here's how to do this directly in your G Suite account transfer data between.

Google Workspace allows users to transfer data to other accounts by transferring file ownership. This method can only be done by Google Workspace administrators.

Step 1. In the Google Admin Console, respectively click Apps > Google Workspace > Drives and Docs > Transfer Ownership.

Step 2. Enter the email address to which you want to transfer file ownership. Click "TRANSFER FILES" and ownership of the files will immediately transfer to the new Google Workspace account.

In addition, for different user needs, the Google platform provides different solutions (https://support.google.com/a/answer/1041297). As an administrator, you can transfer a user's data (email, calendar, documents, websites, etc.) from an existing account to a new account. You can also choose to combine data from multiple accounts into a single account. In some cases, you transfer users' data. In other cases, users move their own data.

However, the methods provided by the Google platform have some limitations:

• There are ways to migrate Google Drive files and folders only when an account is deleted. It is not possible to merge two existing accounts without deleting one of them.
• G Suite data migration is not available with the free edition of Google Workspace. If you're using an older free edition of G Suite, you'll need to upgrade to Google Workspace or G Suite Basic to get this feature.
• G Suite resellers cannot migrate data on behalf of their customers due to data privacy concerns.
• There are also methods that are only available until the Google Workspace account is deleted. Once the account is deleted, it is not possible to transfer lost Gmail messages and contacts to another user.
