Migrate Koofr to Google Drive — Transfer Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read

RcloneView moves your Koofr files directly to Google Drive — preserving folder structure, verifying integrity, and requiring no intermediate local storage.

Koofr's European privacy-focused storage is popular among users who prioritize GDPR compliance and data residency. When teams shift to Google Workspace and need their Koofr content in Google Drive, RcloneView handles the migration cleanly: connecting to both providers simultaneously and transferring data in a direct cloud-to-cloud path.

Connect Koofr and Google Drive in RcloneView

Add both providers as remotes before starting the migration. For Koofr, go to Remote tab > New Remote, select Koofr, and complete the connection using your Koofr credentials. For Google Drive, select Google Drive and complete the OAuth browser authentication — Google Drive's OAuth flow is fully automated and requires no API keys.

Once both remotes are configured, the dual-panel explorer lets you see Koofr on one side and Google Drive on the other. This visual comparison helps you plan the migration: confirm folder structures, identify nested directories, and decide whether to migrate the entire Koofr root or specific subfolders.

Set Up the Migration Sync Job

Create a named sync job in RcloneView for a controlled, repeatable migration:

  1. Source: Select your Koofr remote (root or specific folder)
  2. Destination: Select your Google Drive remote and target folder
  3. Job name: Use something descriptive like koofr-to-gdrive-migration
  4. Mode: Choose Copy to move files without removing them from Koofr

For teams migrating large shared directories, the Max folder depth filter can help you migrate top-level folders independently, validating each tier before proceeding.

Preview with Dry Run Before Transferring

Use RcloneView's dry run mode to preview the migration scope without moving any files. The dry run output lists every file that would be copied, organized by folder — giving you an accurate picture of what the job will do. This is especially useful when migrating nested Koofr folder structures where you want to verify the destination layout before committing.

Monitor Transfer Progress and Review History

RcloneView's Transfer tab shows live progress for the Koofr-to-Google Drive migration — files being transferred, current speed, and total bytes moved. After completion, Job History logs the full summary: total transfer size, duration, file count, and any errors encountered. If Google Drive's API rate limits slowed the transfer, the history log captures those retry events.
