How To Transfer Files Between Microsoft Onedrive And Google

How to Transfer Files between Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive with Backup Box

Backup Box is a file migration tool. It is used to transfer files between online storage services. Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive both are the cloud-storage services. On both, you can store your data, but it depends on you which you use more and which is essential to you. If you want to make some free space in the Drive, then you can transfer data from one to another service but, cloud data transferring is not so simple, to perform this, you’ll need a migrating medium.

Backup Box works as a migrating tool, with the help of this you can perform transferring and also schedule a time for automatically moving the data from one to another.

Here is how to use the Backup box tool to transfer files between two cloud services.

  1. Download and install the tool ‘Backup Box’.
  2. Open the ‘Backup Box’ app.
  3. Make an account by providing an email address and password.
  4. Click on the connectors’ to open a drop-down menu.
  5. Click on the ‘New Connector’ from the drop-down menu.
  6. Select Source and authorize your Google Drive account.

  15. Agree to the prompt to confirm the transfer. Once you agree, the files start moving.

  • Click on ‘Schedule Later’ tab in place of ‘Right Now’ tab.
  • And then schedule the time.
  • And click ‘Save Schedule.’
