In contemporary times, cloud computing has gained significant popularity, benefiting individuals with internet access. Users now prefer uploading valuable files to cloud platforms instead of relying on local hard drives. This approach ensures convenient access to essential data anytime and anywhere. Numerous specialized cloud platforms are dedicated to storing and retrieving files. In this domain, Google and Microsoft, two major tech industry leaders, dominate with their respective offerings: Google Drive (Google Workspace) and OneDrive (Office 365), attracting a substantial user base.
Google provides each user with a 15 GB free storage allocation, which is distributed among all Google-based applications like Google Drive. Conversely, Microsoft offers OneDrive, granting 5 GB of complimentary storage, enabling users to upload both individual files and entire folders. Given their prominence as major tech corporations, a majority of users utilize these platforms.
When utilizing both Google Drive and OneDrive simultaneously, users might find it necessary to move their files and folders between the two platforms. Consequently, we should explore transfer methods to synchronize the platforms and establish a bridge for seamless data migration.
When the number and size of files are low, you can easily download data from Google Drive and upload it on OneDrive.
This is the simplest method that is feasible when the data is less and the network speed is fast. When there is a large amount of data, then you should not go for it.
