Move a File or Folder
Google Drive enables you to move a file or a folder from one location to another. Moving is useful for keeping your files and folders logically organized and for giving others access to the files and folders they need.
You can move a file or folder either by clicking and dragging or by using the Move To command and the pop-up windows it produces. You can move a single file or folder at a time or move multiple items together, as needed.

If you are moving the item or items to a shared drive, the Change Ownership to a Shared Drive? dialog box opens to make sure you understand the result of the move.
