Migrate pCloud to Google Drive — Transfer Files with RcloneView
Move an entire pCloud account into Google Drive without downloading everything to your own disk first.
Teams that standardize on Google Workspace often inherit years of files sitting in pCloud. Downloading and re-uploading them by hand is slow and error-prone. RcloneView connects both services from one window, copies cloud-to-cloud, and lets you verify the result folder by folder before you retire the old account.
Manage & Sync All Clouds in One Place
RcloneView is a cross-platform GUI for rclone. Compare folders, transfer or sync files, and automate multi-cloud workflows with a clean, visual interface.
- One-click jobs: Copy · Sync · Compare
- Schedulers & history for reliable automation
- Works with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, WebDAV, SFTP and more
Free core features. Plus automations available.
Connect pCloud and Google Drive
Both services use OAuth browser login in RcloneView, so there are no API keys to paste. Open the Remote tab, click New Remote, choose pCloud, and approve access in the browser window that opens. Repeat for Google Drive. Once both appear in Remote Manager, open them in two Explorer panels side by side: pCloud on the left, Google Drive on the right.
Browse the pCloud tree first and use Get Size on your top-level folders. A photography studio with 1.5 TB of project folders, for example, can plan the migration folder by folder rather than in one giant job.
Copy Cloud-to-Cloud
For a small set of folders, drag them from the pCloud panel to the Google Drive panel. Dragging between different remotes performs a Copy, so your pCloud originals stay untouched. For a full account, create a job instead: open the Sync wizard, pick pCloud as the source and Google Drive as the destination, and choose a Copy-style job so nothing is deleted on either side.
In Advanced Settings, a moderate Number of file transfers is a sensible starting point; Google Drive applies API limits, so very high concurrency can trigger retries. Leave "Retry entire sync if fails" at its default of 3 so brief network drops don't end the job.
Dry Run, Filters, and Monitoring
Before the real run, use Dry Run to preview which files will be copied. The Filtering step lets you exclude junk such as .git/ folders or limit by max file size and file age, which is handy when only recent projects need to move. Once the job starts, the Transferring tab shows progress, speed, and file counts, and Job History keeps a record of every run.
Verify with Folder Compare
When the job completes, open Compare with pCloud on the left and Google Drive on the right. Filter to left-only files to see anything that didn't arrive, and copy those across directly from the comparison view. RcloneView mounts AND syncs 90+ providers from one window, on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so the same tool covers the move and the check.
Getting Started
- Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
- Add pCloud and Google Drive as remotes through New Remote.
- Run a Dry Run on a Copy job from pCloud to Google Drive, then run it for real.
- Use Compare to confirm no left-only files remain before you close the old account.
A staged copy plus a visual check turns a risky account move into a routine task.
