You can use CloudMounter as it adds an extra layer of protection by encrypting your online files.

A Google Document in Google Drive is just a link to a document on docs.google.com, not a physical file. CloudMounter treats these documents as links, enabling you to transfer them easily between folders. Copying or moving files within the same Google account functions smoothly, and the documents remain accessible. If you copy a file to your desktop, it will still open in your browser.

However, moving (not copying) it to another account breaks the link, making the document inaccessible, and deleting it from both Google Drive and docs.google.com.
