I need to duplicate an entire folder on my drive once a week. There are about 25 files in the folder. What is an easy way to do this?

From the web interface I assume. This would be academic if you're using the client and syncing to a folder on your PC. – Al Everett Feb 8 at 3:04
are you wanting to just back the stuff up in that folder? or are you trying to add it to another google account? Do you need the entire contents of the folder or will just the pointers do? – William Feb 8 at 20:24
I needed to duplicate it because I want to have different permissions on them, for this, I need to have separated environments. But using google drive for PC worked fine! – Dude2012 Feb 27 at 20:13

If you are using the Google Drive application on your PC you can copy and paste the folder in the Google Drive directory, and this would copy it. I do not believe it is possible to do this from the web application.

To duplicate a folder drag & drop it on another folder holding CTRL button.

That doesn't duplicate; it just creates a pointer. I tested this by doing the Ctrl-drag-n-drop of a folder to a couple of different places, then created a file in the folder, and the file is visible in every place. – Al Everett Feb 8 at 19:45
