You can move projects and folders in your Drive view. Keep in mind that folders cannot be moved to a drive's Private workspace or between different drives.
Users with different Drive membership types will have different options available to them when moving projects and folders:
- Drive owners and Editor members can move projects within drives and workspaces to which they have access. They can also move folders but only within the same drive and workspace.
- Basic members—can only move projects or folders within their own drive and private workspaces.

Considerations for teams
Moving a project to a different drive, workspace, or folder may affect another team member's ability to access that project:
- If you move a project to your Private workspace, other drive members will not be able to access or see it.
- Basic members can only move projects they created or own on their personal drive. Learn more about drive members
