How To Upload Your Files To Someone Else’s Google Drive

Imagine a situation where you want to share a lot of files to someone using your Google Drive account.

But what if your Google Drive storage is already full and you don’t have any more space to upload new data? What will you do now?

You can use the Google Drive Storage of the person you want to share all the data with to upload your files.

So, here is a simple trick using which you can upload your files directly to anyone’s Google Drive. Well, provided this person has enough storage on his Google Drive, obviously.

Steps To Upload Files To Anyone’s Google Drive Account

Step 1:

This is the most important step in this method. Ask the person you want to share the files to create a new folder in his Google Drive account.

A folder can be created by clicking on the New Button at the top left corner of the Google Drive Homepage and then selecting the folder.
