Part 2: Sync Multiple Google Drive Accounts by Share

This method is a little more complicated than the first. You should know that Google will not allow the syncing of more than 2 accounts on a desktop. This method involves using the “Share” feature on Google. It allows you to grant permission to a second account to access folders on the main account. We have broken down the process into steps below:

Step 1 – Choose the Google Drive account that will be your reference or main account. It is from this account that you will sync every other one.

Step 2 – Provide your login details for the account you just chose as “main” and then press enter.

Step 3 – Click on “create folder” to set up a new folder in the drive account. After doing this& provide a unique name for that folder. This is important for easy identification in the future. One of the easiest ways to do this is to make use of your email address. This is because each Google Drive account is attached to a specific email address.

Step 4 – Now& choose the files that you need to sync within the main Drive account. Move these files into the folder that you just created and named. If you want to sync the whole drive& select all the files and move them to this folder.

Step 5 – After you move all these files to the folder& your dashboard should be spotless. It is important to double-check the new folder to be sure that the files moved there successfully. After you crosscheck& return to your dashboard by clicking “My Drive.”

Step 6 – Now& right-click on the folder containing all the files that you just moved. This will give you a list of options. Click on “Share.”

Step 7 – A dialog box asks you to provide the email address of the receiving account. Type in the email address of your main Google Drive account. You must settle all the permissions before you click on “Send.” Such permissions include write& organize& and read. When you do this& you can do anything with the files present in the folder. The beauty of this process is that you can add another account if you like.

Step 8 – After clicking “Send&” you will receive an email from Google with a request to access this folder. Log into your main account to view this. It is always best to do this via a different browser or private or incognito tabs. Check the image below to see the kind of email that you are going to receive.

Step 9 – Click “Open” to go to your Google Drive account. When you get here& click “Shared with me” in the pane by the left to open the “Shared With Me Folder.” Here& you will see the folder containing all the files you put in from the other Google Drive account. “right-click” again and select “Add to my drive.”

Step 10 – There you go& the folder is now present in your main account. This means that you can sync the content of this account with that from your main account. You can always share folders across both accounts.
