3. Select all the items you want to move (click and drag or use Ctrl + A / Cmd + A).
4. Right-click and choose Download.
   • If you download multiple files/folders, Google will create a .zip file.
5. Wait for the download to complete.

Step 2: Extract the Files (If They Were Zipped)

1. Locate the downloaded .zip file on your computer (usually in the Downloads folder).
2. Right-click > Extract All (Windows) or Double-click to open and drag out the files (Mac).
3. Ensure all files are extracted properly.

Step 3: Upload to OneDrive

1. Open OneDrive in a web browser: https://onedrive.live.com.
2. Navigate to the folder where you want to store the files or create a new folder.
3. Click Upload > Folder (or Files if needed).
4. Select the files/folders you just extracted and upload them to OneDrive.
5. Wait for the upload to complete.

Step 4: Re-Share the Files with Your Team

1. In OneDrive, select the folder that contains your transferred files.
2. Click the Share button at the top.
3. In the Invite people box, enter the email addresses of everyone who needs access.
4. Click the pencil/edit icon next to their name and set it to Can Edit.
5. Check the box Allow editing (so they can modify files).
6. Click Send.

? Important Notes:

• If you were using Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, they were downloaded as Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files. Your team will now need to open them in Microsoft 365 apps.
• If any user says they can’t edit, have them check if they're logged in with the right Microsoft account.
• If you want to share everything at once, share the entire folder instead of individual files.
