OneDrive: Transfer To A Different Storage Service

If you want to move from OneDrive storage to another service (for example Google Drive) you will need to copy the data to the other service. Once you copy over the files, you can delete the content in OneDrive. 

Some additional things to consider:

  • Copying generally preserves the folder structure of the content but it won’t transfer the collaborators, shared links, comments, metadata, or the file history. It will only copy the most recent version of the files.
  • You could sync all files using the OneDrive sync client  on your local computer then copy them to your destination. This could consume a lot of space depending on how many files you have.
  • A free graphical tool that can connect to multiple cloud services is CyberDuck 
  • You can connect this tool to OneDrive and your chosen service, then copy files directly from one to another -- no local storage is required. This tool is not supported by EKU IT.
  • Any tool that uses your personal computer to download and then upload data might not be suitable if you have a slow or unreliable network connection.
