This allows you to easily make copies of shared content directly in your browser.\n\n## Features\n\n- **No Coding Skills Required**: You don't need to know any programming or coding to use this script.\n- **Browser-Based Solution**: All steps are performed online in your web browser using Google Colab.\n- **Simple and Easy Setup**: Follow the step-by-step instructions to quickly set up and run the script.\n- **Automated Process**: The script automates the copying process, saving you time and effort.\n- **User-Friendly Instructions**: Detailed, user-friendly instructions make it easy for anyone to follow.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- A Google account with access to Google Drive.\n\n## Setup Instructions\n\n### Step 1: Obtain Folder IDs\n\n1. **Shared Folder ID**:\n   - Open the shared folder in Google Drive.\n   - The URL will look something like this: `https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/SHARED_FOLDER_ID`.\n   - Copy the `SHARED_FOLDER_ID` from the URL.\n\n2. **Your Own Folder ID**:\n   - Open your destination folder in Google Drive.\n   - The URL will look something like this: `https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/MY_OWN_FOLDER_ID`.\n   - Copy the `MY_OWN_FOLDER_ID` from the URL.\n\n### Step 2: Check Permissions\n\n- Ensure you have read access to the shared folder.\n- Ensure you have write access to your own destination folder.\n\n### Step 3: Run the Script\n\n1. Open [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/) and create a new notebook.\n2. Copy the contents of `copy_drive_folder.py` into a cell in the notebook.\n3. Replace `SHARED_FOLDER_ID` and `MY_OWN_FOLDER_ID` with the IDs obtained in Step 1.\n4. **Grant Permissions**: When prompted, a pop-up window will ask for permissions to access your Google Drive. Make sure to tick all the necessary boxes to grant permissions.\n5. Run the cell to execute the script.\n\n## Time Estimates\n\n- **Obtain Folder IDs**: 2-5 minutes\n- **Check Permissions**: 2-5 minutes\n- **Run the Script**: 10-30 minutes (depending on the size of the folder and internet speed)\n\n## Script\n\nThe script is located in the file [`copy_drive_folder.py`](copy_drive_folder.py).\n\n### Usage\n\n1. **Copy**: Copy the script into a new cell in a Google Colab notebook.\n2. **Edit**: Replace the placeholder folder IDs with your actual folder IDs.\n3. **Execute**: Run the cell to start copying files and folders.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\n\n## Related Projects\n\n- [Google Drive Batch Delete](https://github.com/similato87/google-drive-batch-delete): Use your browser to batch delete files from Google Drive folders that match a specific pattern, all online using Google Colab.\n\n## Key Topics\n\n- no coding required\n- browser-based solution\n- easy setup\n- quick execution\n- automated process\n- secure\n- user-friendly instructions\n- error handling\n- time-efficient\n- online\n- Google Drive\n- Google Colab\n- PyDrive2\n- shared folder\n- file copy\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsimilato87%2Fgoogle-drive-folder-copy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsimilato87%2Fgoogle-drive-folder-copy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsimilato87%2Fgoogle-drive-folder-copy/lists"}
