Sync Multiple Accounts in Google Drive (2025 Guide)

In this article, we will show you how to sync multiple Google Drive accounts using Google Drive for desktop. Simply follow the steps below!

How to Sync Multiple Google Drive Accounts

Unfortunately, syncing multiple Google Drive accounts directly to each other isn’t a feature natively supported by Google Drive. Using a shared folder in Google Drive is a practical way to sync content across multiple Google Drive accounts without using a third-party tool. Here’s how to do that:

1. Create a Shared Folder in Your Primary Google Drive Account

Click on the “+ New” button on the left sidebar.

Then select “New folder”.

Give your folder a clear, descriptive name that indicates its purpose. As an example, we will name our folder “Shared folder”. Click “Create”.

2. Share the Folder with Other Google Drive Accounts

Right-click on your folder and choose “Share”.

Enter the email addresses of the other Google Drive accounts with which you want to share the folder. Choose “Editor” from the permission options to allow others to add, delete, and modify files within the folder. Click “Send” to invite the other accounts to the folder.

3. Sync Files Across Accounts Using the Shared Folder

Drag and drop files into the shared folder from any of the accounts that have access. Any changes made to the files in the shared folder will automatically sync across all accounts that have access.
