How to Backup OneDrive to Google Drive on Windows 10?
OneDrive is a Microsoft cloud storage service that provides Windows users with a good way to back up data. You can store any type of file in OneDrive, including photos, videos, and documents, and you can access them from any Windows PC.
But this cloud-based service is as vulnerable to network errors, server crashes, malware infections, and cloud disk theft as other cloud services. Once these problems occur with the OneDrive being used, the safety of the data stored in it cannot be guaranteed.
Why Need You Backup OneDrive to Google Drive?
The common ways of backing up OneDrive are backing up to an external disk drive and backing up to the cloud, and the external disk has a fatal flaw that is susceptible to external factors such as loss, theft, or damage in the event of an accident. And backing up to the cloud will not have this kind of trouble, and has scalability compared to external disks.
OneDrive provides new users with 5GB of storage space for free, while Google Drive is generous to provide new users with 15GB of storage space for free. With greater storage space and powerful features, Google Drive stands out among many cloud storage services, and many users have begun to find a way to directly backup data of OneDrive to Google Drive.
