I'm in a bit of a conundrum.

I have a folder of notes and resources in my school account's google drive that I want to transfer to my normal email to save before my school account is deleted. I've shared it but I want to make sure nothing gets deleted after the email is deleted. So I've tried to transfer ownership of the folder but it says that I can't do that outside of the school organisation. I've also tried to save the shared folder into "My drive" but the same problem occurs. It also doesn't let me create a copy of it. Also the folder is too large to first save to my computer and then re-save to my drive.

Does anyone know how I can overcome this.

Thank youuuu!!

Also, I don't where the right place to post this is so sorry if it's in the wrong area.

What I did was manually select every file I owned, shared them to my external account and copied them. The other files that weren't directly mine I downloaded as Word files or copied their contents into other docs on my external account.

Don't try to bulk copy everything at once since drive will reject it
