Connect OneDrive To Google Drive With Azure Logic Apps

Azure Logic Apps

Logic App is a cloud-based service. It allows us to react to an event in one service (such as SharePoint online) and do something with the data from that event in another Service (such as Twitter). It makes it practical and simple for businesses. The users build workflows that automatically do some business tasks and processes across applications and services. We can connect our business-critical apps and services with Azure Logic Apps, automating your workflows without writing a single line of code.

Connect OneDrive to Google Drive

Here, we can connect OneDrive and Google Drive to back up your files.

  • OneDrive
    OneDrive is a file-hosting service operated by Microsoft as part of its suite of online services. It allows users to store files as well as other personal data like Windows settings or BitLocker recovery keys in the cloud. Files can be synced to a PC and accessed from a web browser or a mobile device, as well as shared publicly or with specific people. Login here
  • Google Drive
    Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. Google Drive allows users to store files in the cloud, synchronize files across devices, and share files. Login here

Now, we are connecting the OneDrive and Google Drive to back up their data.

Why We Connect OneDrive to Google Drive

OneDrive and Google Drive are powerful and convenient Cloud services that are widely used worldwide. They provide a version of desktop and phone for their users so that they can easily access these files whenever and wherever. Many users store their personal files like photos, music, videos, and movies in the cloud.

However, users have to store a part of their files on one Cloud drive due to the storage limitation. The reason to connect OneDrive to Google Drive is to keep our data safe. If you lost files in one Cloud drive, but we have still copies in other Clouds. As a result, it makes file management easy and effective.
