Moving Google Drive files to OneDrive
1. Login to your Google Drive account at https://drive.google.com/drive/.
2. Select all of the files and folders that you own. You will see the owner as “ME” in the owner column. To select multiple files and folders, hold the Ctrl key while selecting them.
3. Once you have selected all of the files and folders you own, right-click and choose the Download option. These files and folders are zipping into a compressed folder. Once the zip process is complete, you will see the file processing in your downloads bar. If you do not see the file in your downloads bar, navigate to your downloads folder. Once this process is complete (which may take a while if you have several files and folders) open the zip folder.
*Note that if you use Google Chrome it may ask you to "Leave" the page when downloading. Click Leave in this case - it has to do with the zip file being a pop-up. It will then start downloading.
4. Depending on your program, choose the extract option to extract all of the files and folders from the zip. We use 7-Zip File Manager in this example. The default is to store this folder in your downloads. If you would like to choose a different location, click this button with the 3 ellipses and navigate to where you would like to temporarily store these files. We will leave the default to Downloads and add a folder name to identify these files such as Google Drive to One Drive.
5. In a browser, navigate to https://portal.office.com. Select the OneDrive Icon. This will be the new home for all of your files and folders previously stored in Google Drive.
6. Choose the upload option to individually select files or folders you would like to upload, or simply open your downloads folder and drag and drop them onto the page. I will select all of them at once using the Ctrl+A to select all, and drag them collectively onto the page.
7. To set sharing permissions for each file or folder, click the sharing link next to the file or folder you would like to share. It will say Private to begin with. A sidebar will appear on the right.
8. To add permissions for others, click the person plus icon. From here you can manage who can view or edit the file or folder. You can include a personal message and invite for an individual or group via email. You can also get a link and choose what permissions those with the link have.
Although this looks a little different, this has the same functionality that you are familiar with in Google Drive.
