What to Use to Migrate Google Drive to Another – MultCloud
No matter what reason you have that motivates you to move files from one Google Drive account to another, you can use MultCloud to achieve the transfer automatically.
MultCloud, founded in 2012, is a tech-mature and popular cloud file transfer service that can help you transfer files between multiple cloud storage services, such as Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, NAS, FTP, Amazon S3, etc. You can use its Cloud Transfer, Team Transfer, Cloud Sync, and Cloud Backup functions to automatically transfer files from a business or personal cloud to another without downloading and uploading.
🔥 Cloud Transfer: Directly migrate files from one or multiple clouds to another with various transfer options.
🔥 Team Transfer: Transfer files between business clouds like Google Workspace to OneDrive for Business with the sub-account matching feature.
🔥 Cloud Sync: Sync files between cloud drives with 10 sync modes like Real Time Sync, Incremental Sync, Cumulative Sync, Full Backup Sync, Mirror Sync, and so on.
🔥 Cloud Backup: Backup one or more clouds to another and restore your desired files with the file versioning feature.
To migrate Google Drive to another account, the Cloud Transfer function may be the best choice if you do not have the sync or backup requirements. It provides you with options to schedule the transfer task, filter the files, auto-delete the transferred files, skip or overwrite the repeated files, and get notified after the task is done.
💡 Schedule: Make the transfer task a daily, weekly, or monthly routine by setting your preferred time and frequency in “Schedule”.
💡 Filter: If there are some types of files that you do not want to transfer, you can use “Filter” to batch-select them and choose to ignore them in the transfer process.
💡 Delete all source files after transfer is complete: If you want to free up space for the source cloud, you can check the option to auto-delete the transferred files.
💡 Skip or overwrite the repeated files: To avoid duplicates in the target cloud, you can choose to skip or overwrite the already existing files.
💡 Email: If you want to be notified as soon as the transfer task is done, you can tick the “Email” option.
