What is Drive Migrator?
'Drive Migrator' is a Chrome extension designed to facilitate the transfer of Google Drive files and folders from one account to another. It enables users to replicate all selected documents, recreate folders, and arrange them accordingly, effectively bypassing Google's limitation on ownership transfer to the same domain. However, it currently does not support sharing settings migration.

Simple, but worked fine for me for a recursive copy of about 100 files and folders. I also needed to run it in incognito mode to avoid confusion with multiple Google accounts.
