Preface

OneDrive is a cloud storage service for storing data, photos, documents, videos, spreadsheets, and more. However, since the free OneDrive storage space was reduced from 15GB to 5GB and Google Drive still offers users 15 GB of free storage space, many users tend to transfer files from OneDrive to Google Drive. So, how to copy files from OneDrive to Google Drive without any file corruption or data loss?

Step 2. Select the files you want to transfer from OneDrive to Google Drive, click the "Download" button and store them on your local device.

Step 3. Access Google Drive by opening the link at https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive and log in.

Step 4. Click on "My Drive", select "Upload files" to select files downloaded from OneDrive to Google Drive, and wait for a while until the process is completely complete.

If you complete the above 4 steps, you will successfully transfer files from OneDrive to Google Drive. This method is simple and easy to operate, and convenient for users to operate.

Way 2: Drag and Drop Files

If you have the OneDrive desktop app, this is another way to move OneDrive files to Google Drive.

Step 1. Set up OneDrive on your Windows desktop. (Download address: https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/download/). Log in with your account after downloading.

Step 2. Log in to your Google Drive account.

Step 3. Select the data you need to move from OneDrive to Google Drive.

Step 4. Drag and drop these files or folders from OneDrive to Google Drive and wait for the process to complete.

When the process is complete, a prompt will remind you that the file upload is complete.

Note that this manual approach has many limitations. Consider the following before starting:

• The download and upload process will be slow.
• You need enough free storage space for all files and folders on your computer or phone.
• Before uploading, you must reorganize downloaded files and folders.
• When you download multiple files or folders at once, Microsoft puts them in a zip archive. If you want to keep the folder structure of your OneDrive account in Google Drive, you will need to unzip the archive before uploading files to Google Drive.
• You will need a stable broadband connection and uninterrupted power.
