Can I Sync OneDrive to Multiple Locations at the Same Time?
► Case 1: "I have a OneDrive account that holds my daily work documents. Is there any way to sync the data from this account to my Google Drive and Amazon S3 accounts?"
► Case 2: "How do the photos and videos in OneDrive sync to my other cloud storage accounts? I don't want to try to download them manually, and then re-upload them to other accounts, it's too time-consuming."
Why Need OneDrive Sync Multiple Locations?
OneDrive is an online data storage service provided by Microsoft for users, which allows users to sync files to the cloud to access them anytime from a web browser or mobile device. Whether you're working on your laptop, viewing family photos on your tablet, or listening to music on your smartphone, you can access your files in OneDrive. This way eliminates the cumbersome process of emailing files to yourself or carrying a USB drive with you.
However, as there are more and more free cloud storage services, users will register multiple cloud storage accounts at the same time for obtaining more storage space and high-quality services. But in this case, file transfer & sync becomes a problem. If you want to sync two OneDrive accounts or sync OneDrive files to different cloud drives, you may have to switch accounts frantically countless times.
To better obtain the data in each account, you may need to do a good job of sync and backup. In this way, you can not only easily share and manage files within OneDrive, but also get desired pictures, videos or table data from other accounts when your OneDrive account is unavailable.
How to Perform OneDrive Sync Multiple Locations Directly
Under normal circumstances, Microsoft's official OneDrive application can only achieve sync between the local and the OneDrive cloud, and cannot perform sync tasks from one cloud to another cloud, let alone from one cloud to multiple cloud drives.
Fortunately, there is a third-party program that can meet our needs, for example, the online multiple cloud storage manager---MultCloud, which can sync, transfer or backup files between multiple cloud clouds, i.e. sync projects from one source cloud to multiple target clouds.
