Using cloud storage drive likeOneDrive, Dropbox, Google Driveetc ?
But for some odd reason, you want to transfer files from one service to another.
This is not directly possible.
You have to use acloud transfer service.
It supports around 24 such cloud storage drives with privacy, security and safety guaranteed.
Why you want to do Cloud Transfer?
your files are currently backed up on OneDrive and the total size is say 150 GB.
The amount of time required for this process to complete also can take hours, if not days.
In addition to this, if you are on a slow connection, it may be horrible.
Yes, MultCloud is the tool for this job.
Even with a free account, you might transfer upto 2 TB from one service to another.
In this way you save time and internet bandwidth.
What is MultCloud?
This is a webservice to serve users with multiple cloud drives.
Using it, you’re able to transfer files across different branded cloud storage services.
Its just like using File Explorer to transfer files from one drive to another.
But the only difference is we are using cloud drives instead of hard drives.
So the basic purpose of MultCloud is to be useful as a Cloud Explorer.
What is my Personal Experience?
Just like many of you, I didnt know that such service existed.
Let me explain how I found it.
In 2016, Microsoft gave OneDrive users a free 1 year of premium service to store around 100 GB.
So I thought this is a good option to backup my photos, videos and other important files.
But when the year was ending, the free service was not extended.
Then I had to face the problem of losing my files or transferring them to a new cloud drive.
My backup size was around 40 GB and my Internet bandwidth was around 20 GB per month.
So I didnt want to completely exhaust all the months capacity in one go.
So then I researched on Internet to find this nice service.
At the end of it, it took only an hour to complete the whole transfer process.
That too, I had to spend only a few MBs of data to complete the task.
It saved my time and resources.
