您有多个 Google 帐户吗？在多个帐户之间切换是否变得越来越困难？然后，您可以使用以下指南将多个 Google Drive 和 Google Photos 帐户中的数据合并到一个帐户中。 (Do you have more than one Google account? Is it getting difficult to switch between multiple accounts? Then you can merge data across multiple Google Drive and Google Photos account into one account using the below guide. )
谷歌的邮件服务Gmail在电子邮件服务提供商市场占据主导地位，拥有超过 18 亿活跃用户的总市场份额高达 43%。这种主导地位可归因于与拥有Gmail帐户相关的各种好处。首先，Gmail帐户可以轻松地与许多网站和应用程序集成，其次，您可以在Google Drive上获得 15GB 的免费云存储空间，并为您在(Google Drive)Google Photos上的照片和视频提供无限存储空间（取决于分辨率）。
然而，在现代世界中，15GB 的存储空间几乎不足以存储我们所有的文件，我们最终没有购买更多的存储空间，而是创建了额外的帐户来免费获得一些。大多数用户还拥有多个Gmail帐户，例如，一个用于工作/学校，一个用于个人邮件，另一个用于在可能会发送大量促销电子邮件的网站上注册等，并在它们之间切换以访问您的文件可以是很烦人。
不幸的是，没有一键式方法可以合并不同云端硬盘(Drive)或照片(Photos)帐户上的文件。虽然这个难题存在解决方法，但第一个称为 Google 的备份(Backup)和同步应用程序，另一个是(Sync)照片(Photos)上的“合作伙伴共享”功能。下面我们解释了使用这两者并合并多个Google Drive和Photos帐户的过程。
如何合并多个 Google Drive(Multiple Google Drive)和Google Photos帐户
合并Google Drive数据的过程非常简单；您从一个帐户下载所有数据，然后将其上传到另一个帐户。如果您的云端硬盘上存储了大量数据，此过程可能会非常耗时，但有利的是，新的隐私法迫使谷歌(Google)启动外卖网站(Takeout website)，用户可以通过该网站下载与他们的谷歌(Google)账户相关的所有数据。单击。
因此，我们将首先访问Google Takeout以下载所有Drive数据，然后使用Backup & Sync应用程序将其上传。
如何合并多个帐户的 Google Drive 数据(How to Merge Google Drive data of Multiple Accounts)
方法 1：下载(Download)所有Google Drive数据
1.首先(First)，确保您登录到您希望从中下载数据的谷歌帐户。如果您已经登录，请在浏览器的地址栏中输入takeout.google.com ，然后按 Enter。(takeout.google.com)
2.默认；您在 Google 的多个服务和网站上的所有数据都将被选中以供下载。虽然，我们只是在这里下载(download)存储在您的Google Drive中的东西，所以请继续点击取消全选(Deselect all)。
3.向下滚动(Scroll)网页，直到找到 Drive 并勾选旁边的框(find Drive and tick the box next to it)。
4. 现在，向下滚动到页面末尾，然后单击下一步 (Next Step )按钮。
5.首先(First)，您需要选择一种送货方式(delivery method)。您可以选择接收包含所有 Drive 数据的单个下载链接的电子邮件，(receive an email with a single download link for all your Drive data)也可以将数据作为压缩文件添加到您现有的Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive/Box帐户并通过电子邮件接收文件位置。
“ 通过电子邮件发送下载链接”( ‘Send download link via email’)被设置为默认交付方式，也是最方便的方式。
注意：(Note:)下载链接仅在 7 天内有效，如果您未能在该期限内下载文件，您将不得不重新重复整个过程。
6. 接下来，您可以选择希望Google(Google)多久导出一次您的云端硬盘(Drive)数据。两个可用选项是 -导出一次和一年每 2 个月导出一次。(Export Once and Export every 2 months for a year.)这两个选项都是不言自明的，因此请继续选择最适合您需求的选项。
7. 最后，根据自己的喜好设置备份文件类型和大小即可完成。(set the backup file type and size)“.zip”和“.tgz”是两种可用的文件类型，而 .zip 文件是众所周知的，可以在不使用任何第三方应用程序的情况下提取，但在Windows上打开 .tgz 文件需要有专门的软件，例如7-邮编(7-Zip)。
注意：(Note:)设置文件大小时，下载大文件（10GB 或 50GB）需要稳定且高速的互联网连接。相反，您可以选择将云端硬盘数据拆分为多个较小的文件（1、2 或 4GB）。(Drive data into multiple smaller files (1, 2, or 4GB).)
8. 重新检查您在步骤 5、6 和 7 中选择的选项，然后单击创建导出(Create export)按钮开始导出过程。
根据您存储在云端硬盘(Drive)存储空间中的文件数量和大小，导出过程可能需要一些时间。让外卖网页保持打开状态并继续您的工作。继续检查您的Gmail帐户以获取存档文件的下载链接。收到后，单击链接并按照说明下载所有云端硬盘(Drive)数据。

Merge Multiple Google Drive & Google Photos Accounts
Do you have more than one Google account? Is it getting difficult to switch between multiple accounts? Then you can merge data across multiple Google Drive and Google Photos account into one account using the below guide.
Google’s mail service, Gmail, heavily dominates the email service provider market and owns up to 43% of the total market share with more than 1.8 billion active users. This dominance can be attributed to a variety of perks associated with possessing a Gmail account. Firstly, Gmail accounts can easily be integrated with a number of websites & applications, and second, you get 15GB of free cloud storage on Google Drive and unlimited storage (depending on the resolution) for your photos and videos on Google Photos.
However, in the modern world, 15GB of storage space is barely enough to store all our files, and instead of buying more storage, we end up creating additional accounts to acquire some for free. Most users also have multiple Gmail accounts, for example, one for work/school, a personal mail, another for signing up on websites that are likely to send a lot of promotional emails, etc. and switching between them to access your files can be quite annoying.
Unfortunately, there is no one-click method to merge the files on different Drive or Photos accounts. Although there exists a work-around to this conundrum, the first is called Google’s Backup and Sync application & the other is the ‘Partner Sharing’ feature on Photos. Below we have explained the procedure to use these two and merge multiple Google Drive and Photos accounts.
How to Merge Multiple Google Drive & Google Photos Accounts
The procedure for merging Google Drive data is pretty straight-forward; you download all the data from one account and then upload it onto the other. This procedure can be quite time-consuming if you have a lot of data stored on your Drive, but favorably, the new privacy laws have forced Google to start the Takeout website via which users can download all the data associated with their Google account in a single click.
So we will be first visiting Google Takeout to download all the Drive data and then use the Backup & Sync application to upload it.
How to Merge Google Drive data of Multiple Accounts
Method 1: Download all your Google Drive data
1. First up, ensure you are logged into the google account you wish to download data from. If you are already logged in, type takeout.google.com in the address bar of your browser and press enter.
2. Be default; all your data across Google’s several services and websites will be selected for download. Although, we are only here to download the stuff stored in your Google Drive, so go ahead and click on Deselect all.
3. Scroll down the webpage until you find Drive and tick the box next to it.
4. Now, scroll down further to the end of the page and click on the Next Step button.
5. First, you will need to select a delivery method. You can either choose to receive an email with a single download link for all your Drive data or add the data as a compressed file to your existing Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive/Box account and receive the file location via an email.
The ‘Send download link via email’ is set as the default delivery method and is also the most convenient one.
Note: The download link will only be active for seven days, and if you fail to download the file within that period, you will have to repeat the entire process all over again.
6. Next, you can choose how often you would like Google to export your Drive data. The two available options are – Export Once and Export every 2 months for a year. Both options are pretty self-explanatory, so go ahead and choose whichever suits your needs the best.
7. Finally, set the backup file type and size according to your preference to finish. “.zip” & “.tgz” are the two available file types, and while .zip files are well-known and can be extracted without using any third-party applications, opening .tgz files on Windows demands the presence of specialized software like 7-Zip.
Note: When setting the file size, downloading large files (10GB or 50GB) requires a stable and high-speed internet connection. You can instead choose to split your Drive data into multiple smaller files (1, 2, or 4GB).
8. Recheck the options you selected in steps 5, 6 & 7, and click on the Create export button to start the exporting process.
Depending on the number and size of files you have stored in your Drive storage, the exporting process may take some time. Leave the takeout web page open and continue with your work. Keep checking your Gmail account for a download link of the archive file. Once you receive it, click on the link and follow the instructions to download all your Drive data.
Follow the above procedure and download data from all the Drive accounts (except the one where everything will be merged) that you wish to consolidate.
Method 2: Set up Backup and Sync from Google
1. Before we set up the backup application, right-click on any blank space on your desktop and select New followed by Folder (or press Ctrl + Shift + N). Name this new folder, ‘Merge’.
2. Now, extract the contents of all the compressed files (Google Drive Data) you downloaded in the previous section to the Merge folder.
3. To extract, right-click on the compressed file and select the Extract files… option from the ensuing context menu.
4. In the following Extraction path and options window, set the destination path as the Merge folder on your desktop. Click on OK or press Enter to start extracting. Make sure to extract all the compressed files in the Merge folder.
5. Moving on, fire up your preferred web browser, visit the download page for Google’s Backup and Sync – Free Cloud Storage application and click on the Download Backup and Sync button to start downloading.
6. The installation file for Backup and Sync is only 1.28MB in size so it shouldn’t take your browser more than a few seconds to download it. Once the file is downloaded, click on installbackupandsync.exe present in the downloads bar (or the Downloads folder) and follow all the on-screen instructions to install the application.
7. Open Backup and Sync from Google once you are done installing it. You will first be greeted by a welcome screen; click on Get Started to continue.
8. Sign in to the Google account you would like to merge all the data into.
9. On the following screen, you can choose the exact files and folders on your PC to be backed up. By default, the application selects all items on your Desktop, files in the Documents and Pictures folder to continuously backup. Uncheck these items and click on the Choose folder option.
10. In the Choose a directory window that pops up, navigate to the Merge folder on your desktop and select it. The application will take a few seconds to validate the folder.
11. Under the Photo and Video upload size section, select the upload quality according to your preference. Ensure there is enough free storage space on your Drive if you are choosing to upload media files in their original quality. You also have the option to upload them to Google Photos directly. Click on Next to move forward.
12. In the final window, you can choose to sync the existing contents of your Google Drive with your PC.
13. Ticking the ‘Sync My Drive to this computer’ option will further open up another selection – Sync everything in the drive or a few select folders. Again, please choose an option (and Folder location) according to your preference or leave the Sync My Drive to his computer option unticked.
14. Finally, click on the Start button to commence the backing up process. (Any new content in the Merge folder will be automatically backed up so you can continue to add data from other Drive accounts to this folder.)

How to Merge Multiple Google Photos Account
Merging two separate Photo accounts is much easier than merging Drive accounts. Firstly, you won’t need to download all your pictures and videos so you can relax, and second, Photos accounts can be merged right from the mobile application itself (If you do not have it already, visit Photos App downloads). This is made possible by the ‘Partner sharing’ feature, which allows you to share your entire library with another Google account, and then you can merge by saving this shared library.
1. Either open the Photos application on your phone or https://photos.google.com/ on your desktop browser.
2. Open Photos Settings by clicking on the gear icon present at the top-right corner of your screen. (To access Photos settings on your phone, first, click on your profile icon and then on Photos settings)
3. Locate and click on the Partner Sharing (or Shared libraries) settings.
4. In the following pop-up, click on Learn more if you would like to read Google’s official documentation on the feature or Get started to continue.
5. If you frequently send emails to your alternate account, you can find it in the Suggestions list itself. Although, if that is not the case, enter the email address manually and click on Next.
6. You can either choose to share all photos or only the ones of a particular person. For merging purposes, we will need to select All photos. Also, ensure that the ‘Only show photos since this day option’ is off and click on Next.
7. On the final screen, recheck your selection and click on Send invitation.
8. Check the mailbox of the account you just sent the invitation to. Open the invitation mail and click on Open Google Photos.
9. Click on Accept in the following pop up to view all the shared photos.
10. In a few seconds, you will receive a ‘Share back to <name>’ pop up at the top-right, inquiring whether you would like to share the photos of this account with the other one. Confirm by clicking on Getting Started.
11. Again, choose the photos to be shared, set the ‘Only show photos since this day option’ to off, and send the invitation.
12. On the ‘Turn on autosave’ pop up that follows, click on Get Started.
13. Choose to save All photos to your library and click on Done to merge the content across the two accounts.
14. Also, open the original account (the one that is sharing its library) and accept the invitation sent in step 10. Repeat the procedure (steps 11 and 12) if you would like access to all your photos on both accounts.
