🚚 Migrate files from Google Drive to OneDrive (with Mover.io)

Microsoft provides the tool Mover.io, to migrate files from a large number of popular cloud storage providers into OneDrive.

Information Technology encourages students, faculty, and staff to migrate data from Google Drive to OneDrive using the following steps:

Step 1: Log Into Mover.io

1. Using your favorite browser, navigate to https://app.mover.io and select "Sign In with Microsoft"
   Note: If you're signed into a campus computer, you can use Microsoft Edge to automatically sign into your Microsoft account.
   


2. Sign in using your @cedarville.edu email address and password. 
   
    

Step 2: Authorize a File Source (Google Drive)

1. After logging into Mover.io, select Authorize New Connector, and then, next to Google Drive (Single User), select Authorize. Then, provide a name for your new Google Drive connector, and select Authorize again. 
   
       
    
2. Sign into your Cedarville University Google account using your @cedarville.edu email address and password, and allow Mover.io to have permissions to your Google Drive. 
   
         
    
3. Mover.io will then list the folders in your Google Drive. By default, Mover.io will migrate every file and folder inside Google Drive. To select only a specific folder, navigate to it in the folder listing. 
   
   

Step 3: Authorize A File Destination (OneDrive)

1. In the middle pane of the Mover.io app, labelled Select Destination, choose Authorize New Connector. Then, next to OneDrive for Business (Single User), select Authorize. Povide a name for your new OneDrive connector, and select Authorize again. 
   
       
    
2. Sign into your Cedarville University Microsoft Account using your @cedarville.edu email address and password
   
     
    
3. Mover.io will list the folders in your OneDrive. Select Create Folder, and choose a name indicating that these files came from Google Drive. Then select the folder you created to migrate files into.

Step 4: Migrate your files

1. Select Start Copy in the far-right column of Mover.io to begin the migration process. 
   
   
   
    
2. Monitor the migration progress in the Mover.io page that appears. The migration will continue in the background, moving your files to OneDrive. When the transfer is complete, Mover.io will show a status of Success next to the row representing your migration. 
3. Mover.io will store previous migration settings in case you'd like to run the migration again.
4. You can start another migration by selecting Transfer Wizard near the top of the window, and walking through the process again. 
5. Connectors will stay authorized once you connect them, so there is no need to sign in again.
