Fastest Way to Migrate 250GB Data from Google Drive to One Drive

Lmorgster79 on 02/07/2018 - 15:00

Hey All,

I have 250 GB of files on Google Drive (1TB Plan), however i want to migrate that to my One Drive which i get 1TB of storage and Microsoft office for $13 per month.

What is the fastest way to do this without having to Upload 250GB of data using the One Drive Client? I'm looking for a tried and tested way, even if it costs a little bit to do it! I tried migrating through the One Drive client for a couple of days and ended up migrating only 7GB of data. At that rate it would take me a couple of months.

Google Takeout to OneDrive does not work anymore, it looks like Microsoft have stopped the ability to do this, but there is also no way to extract zip files online within One Drive, so it's not really an option.

Thanks.

    Telstra air at Telstra shops in big shopping centres can go at 250mb/s

      That'll be the free/easiest way to do it, if you aren't very tech savvy.

      If you're tech savvy, you can probably lauch a VM on AWS/GCP/Azure (take your pick) and mount both google drive and OneTick on the machine and do the copy. Guessing you can get speeds > 1GBps. It'll probably cost a bit though, since you need to pay for data INGRESS/ERESS on these cloud platforms, but maybe the new account signup freebies are enough to cover the costs.

        Google cloud year free will cover the costs, easily.

          Thanks Mate.. Am giving it a go! Looks good so far.

        both google drive and OneTick

        Typo .. should be OneDrive.

          Someone likely works with data ;)

      didn't know that.
      Thanks, wanting to back up my photos on cloud.

    I assume office 365 is the draw card here? From what I can see google drive and one drive should cost the same?

    Just buy an office key/subscription on ebay for a few bucks and don't waste your time migrating the data. The pricing for cloud services changes all the time and its too hard to keep chasing the best deal.

    Hmmm what a choice. An untrustworthy shop offering access to an untrust-able network, or a free MiTM service? Can't recommend either option!

      Huh? There's plenty of ways to encrypt you data over free wifi.

      I assume your calling the free MiTM service AWS/GCP/Azure … yeah could isn't the most secure, but the OPs data is already in the could, so what's the issue?

        Chain of trust if using SSL encryption, for one. May depend which DNS endpoints are used (or whether the sender can verify them, avoid the effects of poisoning, if a proxy can somehow get in the way, etc). Def a good idea to encrypt everything at source and then ship it through the vapours and decrypt it only when it is back on the device. Decrypting the data in the OneDrive would defeat the purpose, and storing it unencrypted on OneDrive would also, where whoknowswho+dog has access so arghhhh… just stick it on a cheap disk and be careful with anything put out there, ideally keep it to bytes instead of KB or MB.

    Cheap VPS. Use rclone unencrypted.

    Mount Google drive onto the VPS and then configure OneDrive. Open screen, run the commands.

    One done you can trash the VPS.

      How is this different to what I suggested 3 hours ago?

        I'm talking about OneDrive. You were talking about 'OneTick'.

        • salmon123 on 02/07/2018 - 22:02

          Damn autocorrect … I meant OneDrive.

  • thatonethere on 03/07/2018 - 07:20

    Can look at a service like Multcloud. Tho probably want to change your password after.

    I have looked at Google Cloud, created a Free Account, spun up a Windows Server VM there, and Google have given me $400 credit to test out the cloud platform. Am Syncing One Drive and Google Drive clients, then will move the data around. "Estimates" on google pricing says it should cost be AUD$72 for the month, so lets see. With $400 credit, that should get it across, and it's MUCH faster than my home ADSL2 internet!

    Apple Stores are usually quick too but you'd probalby want to use a VPN with it (preferablly a fast one)

    For me the bottleneck is with OneDrive. I have 10gbps connection ( yes 10 Gigabit/second) and OneDrive sync seems to be throttled
