Migrate OneDrive Business to Google Drive

 

In today’s age, businesses are switching to the cloud for obvious reasons. As more and more businesses rely on cloud storage, they are also looking for ways to transfer files from one cloud account to another. Transferring files from OneDrive Business to Google Drive may seem like a daunting task at first glance. However, with the right tools, it's easier than ever to transfer your files. Let’s learn how.

 

 

Why Is Manual File Transfer A Bad Idea?

 

Manually moving files from one cloud account to another can be troublesome and time consuming. You will need to download all files from your OneDrive Business account and upload them to Google Drive.

 

You can face some of the following challenges while manually transferring your files:

 

• You can easily lose track of your files. It's easy to forget which files have been moved and which ones are still remaining.
• The speed of manual file transfer depends on your Internet connection. If you have a slow or unstable Internet, it can take forever to download and upload a lot of large files together. If your download gets interrupted for too many times, it may not be possible to resume it.
• There is also a risk of incorrect file placement. For example: You may upload files to wrong folders.
