How to Migrate Files from Box to Google Drive?

Why Transfer Files from One Cloud to Another?

Nowadays, cloud storage has become the top priority for people to store data. Whether you are an incumbent or a freelancer, we always prefer to use cloud to store our documents, projects, movies, photos, etc. because cloud provides much convenience for people. No matter where you are, as long as your location has a network connection, then you can get the data you need for the first time.

Although storing data in cloud accounts provides people with convenience, many clouds have certain restrictions on space, especially for the free space they provide. Especially when the free space in a cloud is about to be used up, but you don’t want to upgrade your free cloud account to a subscription account, you have to find a new cloud with more free space to store these data.

Fortunately, there are still many cloud storage providers who are very generous in providing free space, such as Baidu cloud, MEGA, Degoo, Box, Google Drive, etc. But there is a problem on how to move files between cloud storage?

What we can usually think of is to use the “Upload” and “Download” functions. Indeed, this function can meet the needs of most people. But the prerequisite is to ensure that the data volume is not particularly large and the network connection is good, otherwise, it will take a lot of time to use this method. So is there any other more effective method?

Luckily, here MultCloud, a free online cloud file transfer manager service, is recommended to help transfer files from one cloud to another without downloading and uploading, logging in and out, switching accounts, etc. Here MultCloud will guide you on how to achieve Box to Google Drive migration directly.
