How I moved everything from Google Drive/Photos to Microsoft OneDrive

Amadex

I want to share my pain and a lot of Googling/Reddit but this was my path:

Google Drive to Microsoft OneDrive:
* There's a native MS app that can do that for you: https://mover.io/

Google Photos to Microsoft OneDrive:
* Get an RDP, I was using a cheap one from Balhost as they offer Windows for free: https://musteri.balhost.net.tr/index.php?rp=/store/sanal-sunucu
* Install OneDrive on RDP
* Download the Google Photos via Google Takeout, unzip it.
* Then sort all images to one big folder with exif data with this: https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper
* Upload all photos to OneDrive with app sync
* Then you can use this script to delete all photos from Google:
* https://github.com/mrishab/google-photos-delete-tool

Btw, why RDP?
Because of net speed, and my thinkpad was already under a hevy load...

Rclone.
Tho you cannot get original resolution through it. Otherwise just use takeout.

Why did you decide to move from Google to Microsoft?

Maybe you can try multcloud.com, transfer files between cloud disk.

Rclone command on tmux or screen would have done the job.

I suppose this poses the question of what was your rationale in moving to begin with

WebProject

the other easiest option is to use Microsoft Power Automate, the service does some migation of files automatically.
