Data Transfer API overview

The Data Transfer API manages the transfer of data from one user to another within a domain. The user receiving the data must belong to your domain.

For example, you can use the Data Transfer API to move Google Drive files from a user who has left the organization.

Note: Not all Google Workspace applications work with the Data Transfer API. To find the current list of applications and their IDs, see the Transfer parameters reference or call the applications.list() method.
