How to Transfer from Google Photos to OneDrive

Last Updated :

Google Photos unlimited storage was bliss for all of us as we could back up all our photos and videos to the cloud and free up storage on our phone to click even more pictures.

But to optimize their resources, Google announced that starting from June 2021, all our uploads will count towards the 15GB storage space that all the users get, and unlimited storage will no longer be offered.

Therefore, you might end up seeing ‘Not Enough Storage Space’ eventually. But there are a few ways through which you can avoid this from happening. One of them is using PicBackMan for moving Google Photos to OneDrive.


How To Transfer From Google Photos To OneDrive?

Listed below is the easy step by step procedure that you can follow to transfer from Google Photos to OneDrive using PicBackMan.

  1. Go to PicBackMan’s website, www.picbackman.com.
    Download and install PicBackMan
  2. Right on the Home Page, select the ‘Download PicBackMan’ option.
  3. On clicking, the page is automatically redirected to another page, where you can easily register and create an account with PicBackMan by entering your email address and setting up a password. Once you are done, hit ‘Sign Up and Download’.
  4. Once your file finishes downloading, run it, and install the app by following the simple installation procedure in the dialog box.
  5. After installation, open the PicBackMan desktop app and sign in when prompted. Half your job is completed here as you have successfully completed the setup.
    Open the PicBackMan Desktop app and log in
  6. When signed in, PicBackMan has various tabs on the top pane, like ‘Photo’, ‘Video’, etc. Head over to the ‘Account’ tab.
  7. In the ‘Account’ tab, you will find a list of the best online photo storage solutions, that are also listed below this procedure. Over there, link your Google Photos account as well as your OneDrive account with PicBackMan.

So, you do not have to worry about the Google Photos storage limit anymore, as PicBackMan makes Google Photos migration a hassle-free experience for you!

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
