## What it is
A Google Apps Script web app that recursively copies an entire Google Drive folder, including all sub-folders and contents, into the user's own Drive. It is hosted on the Chrome Web Store and can also be self-deployed via clasp.

## Use cases
- copy a shared Google Drive folder to my own account
- duplicate a folder structure with all files in Google Drive
- take ownership of a copy of shared team files when someone leaves
- back up a Google Drive folder I have view access to
- copy a folder without owning the original files

## When to choose
- you need to recursively copy a Google Drive folder you can only view
- you want a no-install web app that runs in the browser
- you want the copied files owned by your own account

## When to avoid
- you need to sync folders continuously rather than make a one-time copy
- you need to copy files outside Google Drive
- you require an actively developed tool with recent updates
