Let us discuss how you can integrate OneDrive with Google Drive – following this integration, your OneDrive account will be synced with Google Drive, and the files you upload to OneDrive will automatically be uploaded to your Google Drive account.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will link OneDrive with Pabbly Connect to capture the uploaded files, link Pabbly Connect with Google Drive, and upload the captured files to Google Drive.
Steps to Automatically Upload OneDrive Files to Google Drive

3. Setup Google Drive as the Action App to Upload Files

Step 2:- Establish a Connection between OneDrive and Pabbly Connect
We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between OneDrive and Pabbly Connect. This will help us to fetch the files from OneDrive.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be OneDrive
Choose ‘Microsoft OneDrive’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New File’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Microsoft OneDrive Account
To connect with your OneDrive account, select ‘Add New Connection’, and click on ‘Connect With Microsoft OneDrive’.
Set the Folder Path to specify the folder from where you want to capture the files, select ‘New File Created’ as the Event Type, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, Pabbly Connect will capture the data of the latest file uploaded to your OneDrive account.
Step 3:- Setup Google Drive as the Action App to Upload Files
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to upload files captured from OneDrive to Google Drive. Thus, Google Drive will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Google Drive’ as the Action App, select ‘Upload a File’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Google Drive Account
To connect with your Google Drive account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Google Drive’. Also, grant the authorization.
C. Map Necessary Fields
Now that you have connected your Google Drive account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.
Map the URL from the step above.
Copy the Folder ID from your Google Drive URL and paste it into its given field.
Map the File Name from the step above and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the file will be uploaded to your Google Drive account.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated OneDrive with Google Drive. Now each file you upload on OneDrive will automatically be uploaded to your Google Drive account as well.
