How to move files from one cloud storage service to another

Posted on at


You may need to change to an alternate distributed storage administration — maybe moving to Microsoft's Onedrive to get that now-vast distributed storage. Yes, you could simply download and re-transfer all your documents, however you can likewise do this a quicker way. 

 

Your home Internet association's transfer rate is typically the bottleneck here. Utilize an administration that will move your records between administrations for you and you won't need to stress over your transfer speed or actually leaving your machine on. 

 

The Obvious, Slow Way 

 

Most importantly, keep it basically. In the event that you don't have that numerous gigabytes of information put away in a distributed storage administration, you don't need to utilize any of the administrations underneath. You should simply download your records to your machine — in the event that they're all synchronized to your machine, that will work. If not, you'll have to change your administration's sync settings to match up all records to your machine. 

 

Note that, in the event that you utilize Google Docs, you'll have to fare those Google Docs document to Office reports or an alternate organization before you can move them to an alternate administration. 

 

Next, introduce the desktop customer for the administration you need to move your documents to, and simply move or duplicate the records from your current distributed storage envelope to the new one. The new distributed storage administration will transfer every one of them from your machine to its server farm. 

 

This is just fine, however this methodology includes downloading everything over your home Internet association and after that re-transferring it. Your home Internet association is likely the slowest piece of the process, so this simply isn't effective on the off chance that you have an enormous measure of information. The arrangement is an administration that gets the records for you and afterward pushes them to the new administration.

Mover.io helps Dropbox, Microsoft Onedrive, Google Drive, Box, Copy, Yandex, and Putio for its free purchaser administration. 

 

Include your records and mover.io will get access to them by means of Oauth. You can then run a prompt exchange of the documents starting with one area then onto the next, or set up a planned exchange to have this happen consequently on a timetable. This is speedier than doing this yourself, in light of the fact that it uses mover.io's Internet association, which will probably have quicker download and transfer speeds than yours. You likewise don't need to leave your machine for the span of the methodology, as everything happens on their servers (or "in the cloud," as we say these days). 

 

In the wake of performing the document exchange, you can renounce the administration's right to gain entrance to your documents on the off chance that you don't anticipate keeping on uing this administration on a constant premise. You can and ought to renounce any administration's right to gain entrance when you're set utilizing it. 

 

Otixo 

 

Otixo isn't planned just for moving documents between diverse administrations. It's a distributed storage aggregator that permits you to see all your distributed storage administrations and their documents in a solitary interface. Otixo likewise gives you a chance to effectively exchange documents between these administrations with a speedy move and customize.
