If you have your own Google Domain and ever want to change to a new one or have a school Google Apps for Education account and change districts you may want to take your files with you. It is one thing to share them with a personal account to have access to those files, but if/when the district account is deleted, all your files owned by that account will be gone and gone forever. One way to move the files so you will always be able to keep them is to share them with your new account and then make copies of each file. That process can be time consuming if you are like me and have used Google Drive for many years and have 43 GB of files in your Google Drive it can take forever.
