People move files from OneDrive to Google Drive for different reasons—from switching cloud ecosystems to simply making files available for a Google-based workflow.

Not all cloud transfer tools are built the same. While basic file movers force you through tedious downloads and local bandwidth caps, MultCloud delivers a true server-side migration—packed with smart features designed for speed, safety, and zero effort.
Transfer files directly from OneDrive to Google Drive through your browser, without repeatedly downloading and re-uploading data yourself.
Your files don't need to be stored on your computer first, making large migrations possible even when your device has limited free storage.
Once a cloud transfer task starts, it can continue on MultCloud's servers without keeping your browser open or computer powered on.
Set a transfer to run later or on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule—useful when files need to be moved regularly or during a preferred time window.
Use file extensions to include or exclude specific file types, so you can migrate the data you need instead of moving everything in OneDrive.
Enable email notifications to know when a transfer task finishes, so you don't have to keep checking its progress manually.
Transferring gigabytes of data doesn't have to consume your local disk space or eat up your bandwidth. With MultCloud, you can seamlessly migrate your OneDrive files to Google Drive directly online using two simple methods.







Security is non-negotiable when connecting your personal or business clouds. A trusted tool must safeguard your credentials and never expose your files to unauthorized access.
Uses bank-grade 256-bit AES encryption and SSL during transfer to effectively protect your data from interception, tampering, and unauthorized access.
Connects via standard OAuth authorization—MultCloud never sees or stores your cloud passwords. You can revoke access at any time directly from your cloud provider.
Fully compliant with GDPR and international privacy standards. We only process necessary metadata and enforce Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to protect your rights.
MultCloud never stores your files. Any temporary cache required during transmission is immediately purged from our servers as soon as the task completes.
You hold 100% ownership of your account. Closing your account instantly and permanently wipes all your personal credentials and settings from our database.
Special symbols (#, %, &, +) & non-Latin scripts preserved
Nested subfolders & long paths fully intact
100% Original names & extensions preserved
Word, Excel & PowerPoint remain in original Microsoft Office formats
Modified time aligned with transfer time
Notebooks become folders containing .one and .onetoc2 files which Google Drive cannot preview.
The most basic way to move OneDrive files to Google Drive is downloading them to your local computer first and re-uploading them to Google Drive. This works well if you only have a few small files to transfer.
If you already have OneDrive and Google Drive for Desktop installed, you can drag and drop files directly between synced folders in Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder.
For tech-savvy users who prefer scriptable automation over graphical interfaces, open-source command-line tools like Rclone provide a flexible way to transfer files directly between OneDrive and Google Drive.
rclone copy onedrive:Backup gdrive:OneDrive_Backup --progress --transfers 4 --drive-chunk-size 64MSkip the tedious download-and-reupload process. MultCloud moves your entire OneDrive library directly to Google Drive in the cloud—100% server-side, with zero consumption of your local storage or bandwidth.
Seeing your files in Google Drive doesn't necessarily mean the migration is finished. Before cleaning up OneDrive, take a few minutes to verify files arrived and still work as expected.
Compare important folders and files in both clouds. Check the total file count where practical, and pay particular attention to large folders, deeply nested files, and anything essential to your work.
Don't stop at checking file names. Open representative Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, image, and other important files in Google Drive to make sure they are accessible and usable after the transfer.
Some Microsoft-specific content may behave differently outside OneDrive. For example, in our test, a OneNote notebook appeared in Google Drive as a folder containing .one and .onetoc2 files that Google Drive could not preview directly.
Keep the source files until you've verified the Google Drive copy. A successful transfer doesn't necessarily guarantee that every cloud-specific feature or file type will work identically at the destination.
Whether you're moving your own OneDrive files or migrating data for an entire organization, MultCloud provides a purpose-built solution for different migration scales.
Need to move your personal files to Google Drive? Cloud Transfer connects both accounts online, so you can transfer selected files, folders, or larger amounts of data without downloading everything to your computer first.

No. MultCloud Cloud Transfer copies your selected files from OneDrive to Google Drive by default, so the original files remain in OneDrive after the transfer. If your goal is to move rather than copy the files, MultCloud also provides such an option to delete the source files after the transfer is complete.
No, MultCloud cannot directly transfer items that only appear under OneDrive's "Shared" or "Shared with me" section. Due to cloud provider API access restrictions, MultCloud can only read and migrate files that reside inside your own personal root directory ("My Files").
Yes. Google Drive enforces a strict account-level limit of 750 GB per day for uploads and transfers, regardless of the method or software tool you use (including browser uploads, desktop sync apps, Rclone, or third-party cloud services like MultCloud). If your transfer reaches this 750 GB cap within a 24-hour window, Google Drive will temporarily reject any further incoming files and return a rate limit error.
For a full migration, you can select your entire OneDrive as the source and Google Drive as the destination in MultCloud Cloud Transfer. Before transferring, make sure Google Drive has enough available storage and check any platform-specific files, such as OneNote notebooks, for compatibility.
It depends on your goal. If you're completely switching to Google, you may only need OneDrive until you've verified the migration. If you still use Microsoft and Google services, keeping both can be useful for different workflows, collaboration needs, or an additional copy of important files.
Choose Cloud Transfer for a one-time migration, such as switching from OneDrive to Google Drive. Choose Cloud Sync if new or updated files need to continue flowing between the two clouds after the initial move.
Yes, but only if you are a Workspace Super Administrator. Google Workspace offers a built-in Data Migration service in the Admin Console that allows admins to migrate OneDrive data directly to Google Workspace accounts across an entire organization. However, this feature is restricted to business and enterprise domains—it is not available for personal (@gmail.com) accounts and requires global admin privileges on both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to authorize and map user accounts.
