Someone shared a batch of folders and files to me. The total number and size is quite large and I want to avoid download all of them and upload back to my Google Drive.I have tried checking multiple items and then copy them. It will make all the selected files copied to my Drive with a - copy filename suffix. But this method wouldn't apply on folders, so folder structure is not reserved and I have to repeat the steps many times.May I know any work around, tool or technique I can use?
How to batch copy folders+files from others' share to my Google Drive?

If you're comfortable using Google Scripts the following from Amit works well for me. I've looped it with an array of folder names grabbed from a spreadsheet to deal with lots of content.function start() {var sourceFolder = source;//name of the source foldervar targetFolder = target;var source = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(sourceFolder);var target = DriveApp.createFolder(targetFolder);if (source.hasNext()) {copyFolder(source.next(), target);}}function copyFolder(source, target) {var folders = source.getFolders();var files   = source.getFiles();while(files.hasNext()) {var file = files.next();file.makeCopy(file.getName(), target);} while(folders.hasNext()) {var subFolder = folders.next();var folderName = subFolder.getName();var targetFolder = target.createFolder(folderName);copyFolder(subFolder, targetFolder);}  }
