Moving from One Drive to Google Drive- Can I delete?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by rachs

Hello,

I hope someone can answer my simple question:
I just created a flow between OneDrive and google drive.

Now I want to delete all of my video's in OneDrive because of storage.

I am afraid to delete.And to my BIG surprise, there's NOT one file in Google Drive!!!

So what is the flow? How can I transfer my files to Google drive please?

 

Understandably, I don't want to lose data 🙂 But downloading from OneDrive would take me 2 days 🙂 

 

Thankyou

    Hi @rachs,

     

    Could you share a screenshot of your flow? How is it created?

     

    How do you want to move files from OneDrive to Google Drive? Do you want to create file to Google Drive when a file is created in OneDrive? Or do you want to get all the files in a folder in OneDrive then save them to Google Drive?

     

    If you want to create file to Google Drive when a file is created in OneDrive, the flow could be configured likes below. Using the action Delete file to delete the file after the files are moved to Google Drive.

    If you want to move all the files at a time, please try the following configuration to see if it will work.

    Dear Mabel,

    I replied to your message extensively and it's not even showing. So frustrating....and I just discovered it now.

    Now I couldn't even log in here and had to create another name. Really confusing and not making me happy.

     

    So, to answer your question: it's the 2nd option: trying to move files (video's) from OneDrive to Google Drive.

    Is there an easy way?
    Your screenshots, well, I tried searching and searching but cannot find where you are seeing all of that.

    Is it in ''flow'' or ''connectors'', I have no clue and I tried.

     

    Secondly, I'm seeling that I'm logged in a work microsoft account and I want this to be my private microsoft account. How can I possibly change accounts, and do I need to create new flows?

    I"m just not ''getting it'' yet 🙂 

     

    Thanks!!!
