How to Import Photos and Files from Google Drive and Photos to OneDrive
Importing photos and files from Google Drive and Google Photos to OneDrive copies your digital files over to Microsoft’s cloud storage without deleting or changing anything in your Google account. You need an active Microsoft account and enough free storage space in OneDrive to hold your files before you start.
Import photos and files by signing into OneDrive.com, navigating to Settings, and selecting “Import cloud photos and files.” Connect your desired cloud service, like Google Drive, and follow the prompts to start the copying process.
Step 1Sign In and Find the Import Option
Head over to onedrive.live.com and sign in with your Microsoft account to get started.
Step 2Accessing the Import Feature
Click the gear icon in the top right corner, then select Settings. Choose Import cloud photos and files.
- Action: Click on “Settings,” then choose “Import cloud photos and files.”
Step 3Connecting Your Cloud Service
After choosing to import, OneDrive will guide you to connect your other cloud services, like Google Drive, by asking for permission to access your account.
Step 4Initiating the Import
With your cloud accounts connected, you can now initiate the import process to copy your chosen files and photos into OneDrive.
