If you want to make a copy of your folders and files in Google Drive and then send this copy directly to OneDrive, you can use the Google Takeout app. Takeout will make a .zip file containing the information from Google Drive, and send the file to your OneDrive account, where you can unzip it.
Step 1. Sign in to your Google Takeout.
Step 2. On the Google Takeout page, click the "Deselect all" text link in the top right corner. Then scroll down the page until you see the Google Drive section. Click the box to the right of the Google Drive section to add a checkmark to it.
