Transferring Between Your MEGA Account and OneDrive Manually
To transfer files from MEGA to OneDrive manually, you’ll need to download the MEGA desktop application so that you can access its sync folder. Once this is done, follow these steps to upload your MEGA files to OneDrive.
- Sign In to Your OneDrive Account
Visit onedrive.live.com and log in with your credentials.
- Click on “Upload”
Click on “upload.” Next, choose whether you want to upload files or a folder. Clicking on either will open up file explorer on your computer.
- Select the Files You Want to Transfer From MEGA
In your device’s file explorer, select the files or folder you want to transfer from MEGA. Next, double-click on them to upload them to OneDrive. The upload will begin immediately, and you’ll be notified once it ends.
Why Should You Migrate: MEGA vs OneDrive
MEGA and OneDrive are two household names in cloud storage. They both make it possible to share and sync your files online. They also secure your files from unauthorized access with technology such as two-factor authentication and encryption. However, they’re not equal in every area.
OneDrive
OneDrive is deeply integrated with Microsoft tools that boost collaboration and productivity, like Office, Sharepoint, Teams and Outlook. By contrast, MEGA has few integrations with third-party collaboration tools, instead putting higher emphasis on security and privacy. If you’re more concerned about your online security, MEGA might be the right choice for you.
OneDrive is popular for its highly intuitive user interface. The apps are easy to navigate across platforms, making it simple to locate your files. OneDrive has a quality which is rare among cloud storage services: it comes with a preinstalled application for Windows users, so those on the platform can get started without needing to install and set up the app.
MEGA
Although MEGA also offers an intuitive user experience, some areas could use some improvement. It has an outdated interface that may cause difficulty when reading text. Also, MEGA has been quite slow to update its interface, despite the new features it has added over the years.
That said, MEGA outperforms OneDrive in some areas, such as its great free plan complete with 20GB of free storage. OneDrive’s free plan only offers 5GB. MEGA does not have any file size limit for uploads, whereas OneDrive’s file size limit for uploads is 250GB.
Final Thoughts: Transfer From MEGA to OneDrive
For data migration between two or more cloud services, you have two options: the manual method — done on Windows file explorer — and the less time-consuming process of using a cloud-to-cloud management service. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize speed or safety.
To recap, MultCloud is a great cloud-to-cloud management service you can use because it supports bulk transfers and offers unlimited data traffic on its yearly plan. You can also use services like CloudHQ and CloudFuze. However, you can also use cloud services like MEGA or OneDrive.
