Sync Yandex Disk with Google Drive Using RcloneView — Multi-Cloud Workflow Made Simple

Move and sync files between Yandex Disk and Google Drive without touching CLI flags. RcloneView gives you side-by-side compares, checksum-verified jobs, and a scheduler to keep both clouds in lockstep.

Why Sync Yandex Disk and Google Drive?

• Consolidate scattered folders across personal and team accounts.
• Keep a live mirror for redundancy or regional access.
• Stage migrations safely with previews, dry-runs, and checksums before cutover.
• Reduce lock-in: keep a verified copy in another cloud without manual exports.
• Maintain uptime: if one provider throttles, the other remains usable.

Step 1 — Connect Both Remotes

• Add Yandex Disk (WebDAV or OAuth) via + New Remote. Guide: add-oath-online-login.
• Add Google Drive with the same flow; choose the right scope (My Drive or Shared Drive).
• Verify both in Remote Explorer so you know paths and permissions are correct.
• Optional sanity checks: confirm time zone and modified-time consistency on a few test files to avoid surprise overwrites.

Step 2 — Compare Before You Sync

• Open Compare to see what differs between Yandex Disk and Google Drive: compare-folder-contents.
• Filter by extensions if you want to focus on docs, media, or archives.
• Save the compare as a job so you can re-run checks after each sync.
• Use compare as your dry-run: it shows adds/updates/deletes without changing data.
• If you see unexpected deletes, change your job to copy (not sync) until you are confident.

Step 3 — Build a Safe Sync Job

• Create a job from Yandex Disk to Google Drive (or bidirectional if needed): create-sync-jobs.
• Start with copy for the first run to avoid unintended deletes; switch to sync once validated.
• Enable checksum verification to catch any silent corruption.
• Exclude temp/cache folders so you only move what matters.
• For Shared Drives, pick the correct destination folder (avoid root) to keep ACLs clean.
• Keep path casing consistent to avoid duplicate-looking folders on case-sensitive vs case-insensitive backends.
• Consider chunk sizes and concurrency only if you hit API limits; defaults are fine for most users.

Step 4 — Schedule and Monitor

• Set the scheduler for off-hours to reduce API throttling: execute-manage-job.
• Watch live throughput and stalled files in Transfer Monitor: real-time-transfer-monitoring.
• Bandwidth caps: keep networks responsive during the day via general-settings.
• Retry handling: if a run fails, re-run the saved job; RcloneView resumes with retries and partial transfers handled by rclone.
• Notification habit: review Job History each morning during migration weeks to catch anomalies early.

Step 5 — Mount for On-Demand Access (Optional)

• Mount either cloud locally to browse without downloading everything: mount-cloud-storage-as-a-local-drive.
• Windows: assign a drive letter; macOS: choose a mount path under /Volumes.
• Good for validation: open a few files directly from each mount after a sync to confirm permissions and readability.

Step 6 — Validate and Iterate

• Re-run Compare after each sync to confirm parity.
• Review Job History for skips, retries, and errors; export logs if you need an audit trail: execute-manage-job.
• If API limits spike, pause and resume; RcloneView will pick up where it left off.
• Spot-check metadata: verify timestamps and sizes on a handful of files in both clouds.
• If you see repeated skips due to name conflicts, normalize names on the source first (avoid trailing spaces and special characters).

Restore or Reverse

• To reverse direction (Google Drive to Yandex Disk), duplicate the job and flip source/target.
• For selective restores, run copy on a scoped include list to avoid overwriting good data.
• Keep a small, known-good "canary" folder and ensure every run preserves it unchanged; it is your quick health check.

Quick Tips

• Keep consistent folder structures on both sides to reduce path mismatches.
• Use presets per team (Docs, Media, Archives) so runs stay predictable.
• Test with a small folder first, then scale to the full tree.
• Document your job settings (mode, filters, schedule) so anyone on the team can re-run safely.
• During heavy migrations, keep mounts read-only for users to prevent mid-run edits.

RcloneView makes Yandex Disk ↔ Google Drive sync straightforward: compare first, copy safely, schedule the rest, and monitor everything from one dashboard.
