How to Duplicate a Google Drive Folder Without Downloading

1.

Select the source folder

Connect your Google Drive and pick the folder you want to copy. The tool uses Google's official Drive API to access only what you select.

2.

Choose a destination

Select any folder in your Google Drive as the destination — including the root level. The copied folder will appear there.

3.

Your folder is copied

Select 'Start copying'. We recreate the full folder structure and copy every file to the destination, preserving the original hierarchy at any depth.

The entire process happens in your browser — no files or folder data are ever sent to our servers. You see real-time progress as the copy runs.

Migrate Data to Shared Drives While Preserving Folder Structure

Moving files to a Google Shared Drive doesn't have to mean losing your carefully built folder hierarchy. Drive Explorer lets you replicate your entire folder tree — including deeply nested subfolders — directly into a Shared Drive without any manual reorganisation.

  • Copy from your personal My Drive into any Shared Drive your account has access to
  • Mirror a Shared Drive folder back to your personal drive for offline-friendly access
  • Reproduce multi-level folder hierarchies at any depth — no flattening, no data loss
  • Ideal for team onboarding, departmental reorgs, or client project hand-offs

The folder structure is rebuilt file-by-file using Google's Drive API, so every subfolder is created in the correct position before its contents are copied in — guaranteeing a perfect replica of the original hierarchy.
