Move folders from a personal Google Drive to your work Drive

Here’s how to move folders from your personal Google Drive account to your work Drive, without manually downloading and re-uploading them. Log into your personal Google Drive account. Select the folder which you want to move and click on the Share button (top right corner). A pop up like the one below will appear. Type in your work email address and set the permissions to Editor. Click Send. Log into your work Google Drive account and go to the Shared with me tab. Find the folder you’ve just shared from your personal account and continue to edit it from your work account or make a copy of its files (Select the files > Right click > Move to) to save them anywhere in your Google Drive account for work. Please note that your Google Workspace administrator can impose sharing restrictions that prevent you from opening folders shared from personal Google accounts. Check with your admin if you encounter issues following the steps above.
How to delete a Space in Google Chat

Google Chat Spaces (formerly “Rooms”) are a great way to communicate with your team and manage projects. They integrate with Google Workspace tools like Drive, Calendar, Meet, Docs, Sheets and Slides, making collaboration easier for everyone. If one of your spaces no longer serves a purpose, or you wish to tidy up the spaces within Google Chat, here’s how to delete them. Note: This feature is currently available only for Google Workspace Business Standard and Business Starter editions (without Google Vault), but will roll out to all users in 2022. Open Google Chat and navigate to the Space you wish to delete. You can only delete the spaces that you have created. Click on the name of the space that you want to delete and select Delete Space (last option). All owned contents of the space will be deleted, including room tasks, files and attachments that are not saved elsewhere. Members will no longer be able to access the space, its files, or the member list. If you’re not yet able to delete a Space from Google Chat, try these tips: Remove all members from old/inactive Spaces. Pin active rooms so they show up on top, leaving the inactive ones at the bottom of the side panel.
View Tasks in Google Calendar

Google Tasks is a simple but effective way to manage your to-do list. Your tasks are available in the side panel of popular Google Workspace apps such as Gmail, Drive, Docs and Sheets. There’s also a dedicated Google Tasks app for iOS and Android . You can also add your tasks to Google Calendar to make sure you won’t miss any deadlines. Here’s how to view them in your calendar: 1. Open Tasks from any Google Workspace app on the web or use the mobile app. 2. Add dates to your tasks. Click on any task and then click on Date/Time. Select a date from the calendar pop-up. Only tasks which have been assigned dates will be displayed in your Calendar. Setting a time is recommended but necessary. 3. Open Google Calendar. In the left panel, under My calendars, select Tasks. Your tasks will now be visible in the calendar along with the existing events. Tasks that have not been assigned a time, will be displayed on top of the scheduled events. If you want to hide tasks from Google Calendar, simply uncheck Tasks from the left panel. To hide a specific task, remove its date from the Tasks panel.
