Moving your Proton Drive to OneDrive? RcloneView makes the transition secure, fast, and hassle-free.

Proton Drive is renowned for privacy and end-to-end encryption, but some organizations need the integration capabilities and collaboration features that Microsoft OneDrive provides. Migrating between cloud providers can be risky—RcloneView ensures every file moves safely, with data integrity verification and zero cloud vendor lock-in.

Planning Your Migration

Before moving files, assess what you have: folder structure, sharing permissions, version history, and access controls. RcloneView preserves metadata and timestamps while migrating. Some features like Proton Drive's end-to-end encryption won't carry over—plan for OneDrive's security model instead.

Setting Up Proton Drive and OneDrive

  1. In RcloneView, add Proton Drive using your account credentials
  2. Add OneDrive with your Microsoft account
  3. Test both connections to verify access
  4. Review folder structures in both services

This two-remote setup enables direct cloud-to-cloud transfer without local intermediate storage.

Executing the Migration

Use RcloneView's cloud-to-cloud transfer to move files directly. Monitor the migration dashboard for real-time progress, transfer speeds, and any skipped files. RcloneView's built-in comparison tools verify data integrity post-migration.

Post-Migration Verification

After migration completes, use RcloneView's comparison feature to confirm all files exist in OneDrive with correct metadata. Create a verification report documenting file counts, sizes, and timestamps. Keep your Proton Drive intact for 30 days as a backup before deprovisioning.


Getting Started

  1. Back up your Proton Drive locally as an extra safety measure.
  2. Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
  3. Add both Proton Drive and OneDrive to RcloneView.
  4. Run a test migration on a small folder before migrating everything.

Your migration to OneDrive is just hours away—let RcloneView handle the complexity.
