Transferring Google Drive data to Wasabi can be solved in 2 ways: the first is to use the third-party tool --- MultCloud to transfer data automatically; the second is to use the upload and download method.
Here we will show you a better way to transfer Google Drive data to Wasabi without downloading and uploading. It is a multiple cloud storage manager --- MultCloud. MultCloud can help you log in at once and manage your multiple cloud drives such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, pCloud, Wasabi, Box and more popular cloud drives.
In addition, MultCloud can support file transfer, sync or backup directly from one cloud to another without any download and upload operations, which makes it especially easy to move files between cloud services. Let's see how easy the whole process is.
Step 1. Create a MultCloud account for free.
Step 2. Click the "Add Cloud" button and select Google Drive and Wasabi to add to MultCloud.
Note: If you don't know how to add Wasabi to MultCloud, go to your Wasabi and go to Access Keys > CREATE NEW ACCESS KEY > Root User > CREATE. Next, you need to copy the keys and add them to the appropriate locations.

Notes:
This is the traditional way to transfer files between Google Drive and Wasabi. You need to download the file from Google Drive to your computer and upload it to Wasabi.
Step 1. Open a browser and log in to your Google Drive. Step 2. On the Google Drive page, select the file or folder you want to transfer and click the "Download" button from the drop-down window. If you download multiple files or folders, you need to select CTRL, and then select the files to be moved in turn.
Step 4. Login to your Wasabi account and open a bucket. Step 5. Click the "Upload Files" button and click "BROWSE FILES" to upload the Google Drive file to Wasabi. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files from your computer to Wasabi.
Note: When downloading a large number of files or folders, Google Drive will compress the files together, so you need to make sure the file is unzipped before uploading.
We all know that whether it is uploading or downloading, if there are a lot of files or the network speed is slow, the whole process will take a lot of time. And if you need to frequently transfer data between two cloud drives, continuous uploading and downloading will be particularly troublesome. At this time, a simpler and more direct method is needed, which is to use MultCloud.
