"How to automatically move data between cloud storage services? I don't want to manually migrate a lot of cloud files, it's too time-consuming!"This article will introduce 2 excellent cloud file migration tools. With the help of these two services, you can easily migrate data from one cloud storage account (including all types of data, such as text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, text files, etc.) to another account. These two services can support multiple cloud storage services, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, FTP/SFTP, and one of them supports up to 30+ cloud storage services, which is very convenient.
With these cloud migration software, the process of data migration between cloud drives is very simple. You can simply add all your cloud storage accounts and choose the source and destination directories to move data. One of them even offers your scheduling feature, and you can schedule cloud migration tasks at specific dates and times using this feature.
Additionally, you can even choose to schedule the task to recur once, daily, weekly, or monthly. These web services also allow you to back up and sync cloud data. To synchronize data, one-way and two-way sync modes are available.
Next, let's look at those two tools and how to use them to complete a cloud-to-cloud migration.
