OneDrive is one of the most popular cloud storage in the world today. Users can store any type of file, including photos, videos, and documents, in OneDrive and access them from any Windows PC or mobile device, and manage them easily. In addition, it integrates rich office applications to help us better collaborate. We often apply for multiple OneDrive accounts, such as personal life accounts, family accounts, and work accounts. How should we manage so many accounts? And how to transfer data from one OneDrive account to another? Here I will introduce 2 methods to migrate data in OneDrive.
Step 1: First, open 2 separate browser windows and log in to your 2 OneDrive accounts respectively.
Step 2: In OneDrive, select the file or folder you want to share and right-click, then select the "share" option.
Step 3: In the pop-up window, enter the email address of the user you want to share the file with, then click the "send" button to complete the file sharing.
Step 4: Open the other OneDrive account, view the files shared by others in the sharing feature.
Step 5: Select the file or folder shared by others, then right-click and select "copy to", then select a target folder and click the "copy here" button to complete the file migration operation.
This method has some disadvantages, such as that during the data transfer process, the browser cannot be closed, otherwise the transmission will be interrupted, and it is complicated to operate and not suitable for managing multiple accounts. If you want to synchronize data from one OneDrive to another account for a long time, then it will not be applicable. Next, I will introduce how to easily manage multiple accounts in one application and synchronize data from multiple OneDrive accounts at the same time.

Note: After the first OneDrive authorization is successful, before authorizing the second OneDrive account, you need to log in to the OneDrive website to log out of the first account and switch or log in to the second OneDrive account, and then continue the authorization in RiceDrive, otherwise the first OneDrive account will be repeatedly authorized to RiceDrive during the RiceDrive authorization.
Step 3: Create a transfer task to migrate or synchronize data from one OneDrive to another. Go to the "Transfer & Download" page, click the "New task" button to enter the task creation process. In the task creation page, check the files or folders you want to transfer in the source, select the folder where you want to store the data in the target, and then click the "start up" button to start the task.
