If you need to copy a Google Drive folder from a web browser, Google doesn’t make it easy for you. But you can use a workaround or download the desktop app for a more streamlined approach.

如果您需要通过网络浏览器复制Google云端硬盘文件夹，那么Google会让您不方便。 但是您可以使用一种解决方法，也可以下载桌面应用程序以获得更简化的方法。

使用Google云端硬盘复制文件夹(种类) (Copy Folders Using Google Drive (Kind of))

Google Drive doesn’t offer a way to copy a folder and all of its contents when you use the web-based app. Instead, you have to copy the contents of the folder, create a new folder, and then paste everything into the destination folder.

使用基于网络的应用程序时，Google云端硬盘无法复制文件夹及其所有内容。 相反，您必须复制文件夹的内容，创建一个新文件夹，然后将所有内容粘贴到目标文件夹中。

To get around all this, fire up your browser, head to Google Drive, and open the folder you want to copy. Press Ctrl+A on Windows or Command+A on Mac to select all the files, right-click, and then click “Make a Copy.”

要解决所有这些问题，请启动浏览器，转到Google云端硬盘 ，然后打开要复制的文件夹。 在Windows上按Ctrl + A，在Mac上按Command + A，选择所有文件，单击鼠标右键，然后单击“制作副本”。

Google Drive makes a copy of each file you selected, places it in the current folder, and adds “Copy of” before each item’s name.

Google云端硬盘会复制您选择的每个文件，将其放置在当前文件夹中，并在每个文件名之前添加“副本”。

Now, select all the file copies, right-click, and then click “Move to.”

现在，选择所有文件副本，右键单击，然后单击“移至”。

Choose the directory where you want the copies to be stored, and then click the “New Folder” icon in the bottom-left corner.

选择要存储副本的目录，然后单击左下角的“新建文件夹”图标。

Give the new folder a name, and then click the checkmark icon.

为新文件夹命名，然后单击对勾图标。

Finally, click “Move Here” to move all the selected files into this directory.

最后，单击“ Move Here”将所有选定的文件移动到该目录中。

All your files should move into the folder you just created.

您的所有文件都应移到您刚创建的文件夹中。

That’s a complicated method, and it should be much easier.

那是一个复杂的方法，应该会容易得多。

使用备份和同步复制文件夹 (Copy Folders Using Backup and Sync)

Alternatively, if you have Backup and Sync installed on your computer, you can copy Google Drive folders directly from the desktop application without having to open a web browser. This approach, unlike the work-around in the previous method, is straightforward. You just copy a folder and all its contents to another destination—no silly, roundabout way of doing things.

另外，如果您在计算机上安装了备份和同步 ，则可以直接从桌面应用程序复制Google云端硬盘文件夹，而无需打开网络浏览器。 与以前的方法不同，此方法很简单。 您只需将文件夹及其所有内容复制到另一个目标即可，而无需执行任何愚蠢的回旋方式。

For this guide, we’re using Backup and Sync for Windows, but it works identically on macOS.

对于本指南，我们使用Windows备份和同步，但在macOS上其工作原理相同。

Launch the Backup and Sync desktop app and let all your files and folders sync to the cloud before you start. The icon should look like this when it’s complete.

启动备份和同步桌面应用程序，并在开始之前让所有文件和文件夹同步到云。 完成后，该图标应如下所示。

After the sync is complete, open File Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac, open your Google Drive folder, right-click the folder you want to duplicate, and then click “Copy.”

同步完成后，在Windows上打开“文件资源管理器”，在Mac上打开Finder，打开Goog​​le Drive文件夹，右键单击要复制的文件夹，然后单击“复制”。

Alternatively, you can single-click the folder, and then press Ctrl+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac to copy it.

或者，您可以单击文件夹，然后在Windows上按Ctrl + C或在Mac上按Command + C进行复制。

Next, navigate to the destination directory—or wherever you want to copy this folder to—right-click, and then click “Paste,” or press Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac.

接下来，右键单击目标目录(或要将文件夹复制到的目标目录)，然后单击“粘贴”，或者在Windows上按Ctrl + V，在Mac上按Command + V。

Just like that, the folder is copied into the current directory.

这样，该文件夹即被复制到当前目录中。

Backup and Sync immediately syncs the folder to Google Drive so you can access it from anywhere.

备份和同步会立即将文件夹同步到Google云端硬盘，以便您可以从任何地方访问它。

Until Google integrates copy-and-paste commands into Drive, the two methods above are the only ways you can copy a folder. Backup and Sync is the most straightforward, user-friendly option, but you have to install and properly configure the application on your desktop first.

在Google将复制和粘贴命令集成到云端硬盘之前，以上两种方法是复制文件夹的唯一方法。 备份和同步是最简单，用户友好的选项，但是您必须首先在桌面上安装并正确配置应用程序。
