Why Need to Backup Google Drive to Another Google Drive

Google Drive is a cloud file storage software provided by Google on April 24, 2012. Users can store, share, and synchronize files with Google Drive.

Users may have one or two Google Drive accounts, and sometimes they need to back up their Google Drive to another Google Drive for the following reasons:

  • Users of Google Drive hope their data can be saved doubly. If one account is lost, they can use another.
  • When they need to change a new account, they must transfer files and folders from the old one to a new one.
  • When some critical files are saved in a shared account, it is safer to back them up to a personal account.

And now, we are going to introduce three different ways of backing up Google Drive to another Google Drive.
