Google Drive — Copy a Large Shared Folder I need help copying a large folder from a Google Drive that is owned by a third party to my own Google Drive. I have access to the folder as a viewer, but I am not the owner or administrator of the source Drive. The folder is already well organized, so I do not want any reorganization. I simply need to create a copy of the available content in my own Google Drive. What I need: I need to copy as much of the folder as Google Drive technically allows with my current access, including: All accessible folders and subfolders All accessible files The existing folder structure The existing file and folder names PDFs, photos, videos and other uploaded files Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and other Google Workspace files, where copying is permitted The destination should reproduce the same folder structure as the original as closely as possible. Important Do NOT reorganize anything. Do NOT rename files or folders. Do NOT delete or modify anything in the source folder. The source folder is owned by a third party and I only have viewer access. I need the freelancer to work within the permissions I currently have. I do NOT want to request or use the owner's Google password or credentials. If any files cannot be copied because of permissions or Google Drive restrictions, please identify them rather than modifying anything. The source folder is very large, so I would prefer a cloud-to-cloud or other efficient migration method, if technically possible, rather than manually downloading and uploading every file. Destination The destination is my own Google Drive, where I need the copied folder to be fully accessible to me after the migration. Verification After the migration, I would like the freelancer to verify that: The folder structure has been preserved. The accessible files have been copied. No files have been accidentally omitted. Any files that could not be copied due to permissions are clearly identified. Budget Maximum budget: €50 total for the complete project. Please only apply if you believe the migration can be completed within this budget. Before starting, I can provide a link to the source folder and explain exactly what access I currently have, so you can confirm that the migration is technically possible. Ideal freelancer Experience with: Google Drive Google Workspace Shared Google Drive / shared folders Large-volume file transfers Google Drive migration rclone or similar cloud-transfer tools When applying, please briefly explain how you would copy a large folder that I can only access as a viewer, and confirm whether you can do it within the €50 budget.

Hi, I can help copy the accessible contents of the shared Google Drive folder into your own Drive while preserving the existing folder structure and names as closely as Google’s permissions allow. My approach would be: • First verify exactly what your viewer access permits • Use Google Drive API / rclone or another cloud-to-cloud method where suitable • Preserve folder/subfolder hierarchy • Keep original file and folder names • Copy uploaded files plus Docs, Sheets, and Slides where copying is permitted • Avoid modifying, deleting, or reorganizing anything in the source • Log files that cannot be copied because of permissions or Drive restrictions • Verify folder counts and transferred content after completion With viewer-only access, some items may be blocked from download/copy by the owner’s sharing settings, so I would identify those clearly rather than attempting to bypass permissions. I can work within your €50 maximum budget, provided the source permissions allow the transfer method after the initial check. Best regards, Jaroslav

EVEN IF YOU DON'T HIRE ME, YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH A FREE CONSULTATION. You need to copy a large shared folder from a third-party Google Drive where you have viewer access only, preserving the exact folder structure and file names without any reorganization. The two hardest parts are working within viewer-only permissions and handling the scale efficiently without manual download-upload cycles. Here's how I'd approach it: - Assess your current access level and document which file types and nested folders are accessible given your viewer permissions - Use rclone or the Google Drive API to perform a cloud-to-cloud transfer that respects your access restrictions and maintains the original structure - Verify the copy, identify any files blocked by permissions, and deliver a detailed report of what transferred successfully I've completed large-scale automation projects including workflow setup and data migration, with clients consistently confirming on-time delivery and technical accuracy. This falls within the cloud transfer expertise you're looking for. Let's confirm the migration is possible before you commit any budget. Reach out with the folder link and I'll give you a clear answer on feasibility and scope. Kind regards, Cornelius

Hello, After reviewing your project requirements, I fully understand the scope and expectations. I have experience handling Google Drive migrations, cloud file transfers, and large-scale data organization while preserving existing structures. For this project, I would first verify the permissions available with your viewer access, then use an efficient cloud transfer method such as rclone or Google Drive-compatible migration tools where possible. The goal would be to preserve the original folder hierarchy, filenames, and accessible files without modifying the source. I would also verify the copied content after migration and provide a clear list of any files that cannot be transferred due to Google Drive permission restrictions. I have a couple of quick questions. • Approximately how large is the folder (GB/TB and number of files)? • Is the source folder shared through Google Drive sharing or a Shared Drive? I can work within the €50 budget if the current permissions allow a direct migration process. Looking forward to discussing the details. Best regards, Carlos.

Hello, I can help you copy the accessible contents of the third-party Google Drive folder to your own Google Drive while preserving the existing folder structure, file names, and organization exactly as much as Google Drive permissions allow. I’ll first verify the access level and determine which files/folders can actually be copied with viewer permissions. For a large folder, I can use an efficient cloud-to-cloud approach such as rclone or an appropriate Google Drive transfer method rather than manually downloading and uploading everything. My process will include: * Preserve all accessible folders, subfolders, and file names * Copy PDFs, images, videos, documents, Sheets, Slides, and other permitted files * Keep the original folder hierarchy intact * Never modify, rename, or delete anything from the source * Work only with the permissions you provide—no owner password or credentials required * Identify files that cannot be copied because of Google Drive restrictions * Verify the destination structure and copied content after completion I’ll confirm the technical feasibility after checking the source folder and your current permissions. If the available content can be migrated within the technical limits, I can complete the project within your €50 maximum budget. Please send the source folder link and access details so I can assess it before starting.

Hi, I’ve built multiple Google Drive migration tools with the Google Drive API and rclone, so this is straightforward. I’ll authenticate only your account, inspect the viewer-accessible source tree, and replicate folders and names in your destination Google Drive without changing the source. I’ll use a cloud-to-cloud approach where permissions allow, with resumable transfers, controlled retries, API rate-limit handling, and logs for every copied or inaccessible item. Google Workspace files will be copied only where Google permits; unsupported or restricted files will be recorded with the exact reason. I’ll run a post-migration comparison of folder paths and file inventories, then provide the omitted-file report. The GitHub repository, README, setup instructions, environment-variable guidance, transfer logs, tests, and deployment/run instructions will be included, with the workflow kept within the €50 budget. I can start immediately. Thanks, Oleksandr

I’d first run a read-only inventory to confirm exactly what your viewer access allows, then use Google Drive API/rclone for the accessible content while preserving the existing folder tree and names. Native Docs/Sheets/Slides would be copied through Drive where permissions allow, with no source changes. Afterward I’d compare source/destination counts and paths and provide a report of anything blocked by owner restrictions. Yes, I can handle this within the €50 total budget.
