Copy Google Folder

This will allow you to create a duplicate of a folder, its contents and structure.

Google Drive is great, but within the Google Drive, it is not possible to copy folders! This is most helpful when you want to share a google folder, but do not want others to have access to deleting things out of it! It is especially helpful when sharing a copy for the MTSS Toolbox! This is good for archiving old information while keeping a copy of the contents to move forward with.

• Open a Google Sheet. Click on add-ons (on the top bar of the sheet).

• Click on Get Add-ons.

• Search for Copy Folder and Add the App by pressing the blue free button (see icon to the right).

• Press allow.

• Once you have added the add-on, go back up to add-ons and click copy folder and select a folder.

• Then select a folder that you would like to copy by clicking the select a file button. Once you have found the folder, click the blue select button.

• Enter an prefix or suffix so that you can tell a difference from your original folder name.

• Press the blue copy button.

• This may take a few minutes.

• It will then create a spreadsheet that has the old folder name and the new folder name with links to go to the folder. You can also find the folder in your Google Drive!

• Name your sheet Copy Folder and go back to this same sheet when you want to create another copy of a different folder!

• Share a screenshot of your Google Sheet on Twitter! Tweet your screenshot using #HeritageExplorers and #HEtechChallenge.
