User Case: How to Link OneDrive and Google Drive

"Is there any way to connect OneDrive and Google Drive? That way, I can use data from both accounts at the same time. Frequent account switching and cumbersome downloads and uploads are just too bad." 

Why Link OneDrive to Google Drive？

OneDrive and Google Drive are widely used around the world as powerful and convenient cloud services. Many users store personal files such as photos, music, videos, and movies in it. And, OneDrive and Google Drive provide users with desktop and mobile versions so that they can access these files anytime, anywhere. 

Due to storage limitations, some users choose to create as many cloud accounts as possible to maximize storage space. That said, it's not uncommon for a person to have three or four cloud accounts. But the problem that comes with it is that the files are scattered in various cloud drive accounts, and it is difficult to transfer. It is inconvenient when users want to transfer or backup Google Drive to OneDrive, or collect a set of files in different accounts.

If OneDrive and Google Drive can be directly connected, users can access the data in the two cloud drives anytime, anywhere, and can easily transfer files between the two cloud drives. In addition, connecting two cloud drives can also keep data more secure. Say you lose a file in one cloud drive, you still get the saved copy in the other cloud.
