Things to Note When Transferring
When transferring files from Mega to Google Drive, there are a few things to note:
-
If the Mega files you want to transfer contain any shared files or folders, you cannot directly transfer them. You need to log in to mega.nz and process them first before transferring. The steps are:
- Log in to mega.nz
- Create a new folder
- Copy the files or folders you want to transfer into this new folder
- Finally, select this new folder as source to transfer in RiceDrive
If you do not do this, the shared Mega files may become corrupted and unusable after being transferred.
-
You can transfer up to 750GB of files to Google Drive per day, this is Google Drive's limit. Please refer to Google's link for details:
