Moving Files from OneDrive to Google Drive

Note: If you are graduating, you will lose access to your Bradley M365 account, therefore you should plan to move all of your files from your school account to a personal account, or move them to your school or personal Google account using the instructions below.

Download files from OneDrive:

1. Go to OneDrive.com, then login with either your personal account or your Bradley account.


2. Under your name, click on My Files in the left sidebar.


3. Hover your mouse over the file you want to download, and a circle will appear next to the file or folder that you can click on to select it. 

In order to download files in OneDrive, you can only select files. To save files contained in Folders, you have to go into each individual folder and select the files contained in the folder, then go to the next folder until only files are selected.

 4. Once you have selected at least one file, a toolbar appears with several options. Click on Download in the toolbar below the Search field. If multiple files are selected for download, they are compressed and saved as a ZIP file.

Upload files to Google Drive:

To complete the file move, you can either upload the files to your personal OneDrive account, or to your Google Drive account.

  1. Go to your Downloads folder and unzip or extract your files.

     a.  MacOS users will double-click the zip file to extract the zip. A new folder named OneDrive_year-month-day (OneDrive_2022-08-26 for example) will appear in your downloads.

     b.  Windows users can single-click the zip file and click on the Extract button in the menu bar of the window. A new folder named OneDrive_year-month-day (OneDrive_2022-08-26 for example) will appear in your downloads.


2. Go to https://drive.google.com and sign in into your personal account OR your Bradley account.

3. Click on the +New button in the top of the left sidebar in Google Drive, then select Folder upload. Navigate to your Downloads folder, then locate the OneDrive folder that was extracted in Step 1 (a or b). Select it, then click on Upload, then when the verification window pops up, click Upload again.


4. Your files should now be saved to your Google Drive. Click on the folder to verify that all your files were imported.

Note: OneNote notebooks will NOT be downloaded to the zip file when you download files from OneDrive.
