Move from Mega to Google Drive — Smooth Migration with RcloneView
Bring your content closer to collaboration. Transfer files from Mega to Google Drive—visually, reliably, and without command-line hassles.
Introduction — Why Mega → Google Drive migration matters
Mega offers strong encryption and generous free tiers, making it popular for personal storage. Google Drive, on the other hand, excels at collaboration—Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, and Workspace integration.
Migrating your files ensures:
- Unified workflows: work directly in Google Docs/Sheets without switching tools
- Simpler sharing: leverage Google’s permissions and team-sharing capabilities
- Resiliency: use Mega as encrypted storage and Google Drive for productivity
