This error message appears when Google Drive is unable to transfer specific files to the shared drive. This can be fixed by transferring small chunks of data at a time and identifying the problematic file(s).
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | If you are trying to transfer a folder, open the folder. |
| 2 | Transfer a folder (or a small set of files, if there is no folder) within the main folder you are trying to transfer. If the transfer succeeds, transfer another folder or set of files. Continue this process until the error message appears again. |
| 3 | When the error message appears again, open the folder and repeat the process in step 2. If the error message appears when transferring a file, skip transferring that file and continue the process until all other files are transferred. We recommend downloading the file instead of directly transferring it. |
