Switching from Apple's iCloud ecosystem to Microsoft OneDrive doesn't have to mean manually downloading and re-uploading gigabytes of files—RcloneView runs the migration as a direct cloud-to-cloud transfer.

When teams standardize on Microsoft 365, or when individual users move from Mac-centric workflows to Windows, getting iCloud Drive files into OneDrive is the first practical hurdle. Downloading everything to a local disk and re-uploading it is slow, interruption-prone, and leaves you with no easy way to verify that every file arrived intact. RcloneView handles this as a server-side transfer with built-in progress tracking, dry-run preview, and folder-compare verification.

Moving from Google Drive to AWS S3 gives you object-level control, lifecycle policies, and infrastructure-grade durability — RcloneView handles the transfer through a visual interface.

Google Drive excels at collaboration and document editing, but organizations that need fine-grained access control, programmatic integration, or long-term archival often outgrow it. AWS S3 offers 11 nines of durability, lifecycle transitions to Glacier for cold storage, and IAM-based access policies. Migrating from Google Drive to S3 can seem daunting — different authentication models, different file semantics, and potentially terabytes of data. RcloneView simplifies the process with a visual GUI that handles the complexity behind the scenes.

Switching from OneDrive to Dropbox means moving files between two different ecosystems — RcloneView handles the transfer, metadata preservation, and verification through a visual interface.

OneDrive integrates deeply with Microsoft 365, while Dropbox focuses on file sync and collaboration with broad third-party app integration. Organizations switching productivity suites, teams moving to Dropbox for its superior smart sync or Paper features, or individuals who prefer Dropbox's file recovery capabilities all face the same challenge: transferring potentially years of data between platforms. RcloneView connects to both via their respective APIs and provides a straightforward migration path.

Both Wasabi and Cloudflare R2 are S3-compatible and marketed as low-cost alternatives to AWS S3, but their pricing models differ in important ways — RcloneView handles the migration between them with a visual interface.

Wasabi offers hot cloud storage at $6.99/TB/month with no egress fees, but enforces a 90-day minimum storage duration and a minimum monthly charge. Cloudflare R2 charges $0.015/GB/month (roughly $15.36/TB) with zero egress fees and no minimum storage duration. For workloads with frequent data retrieval or short-lived objects, R2 can be significantly cheaper. RcloneView connects to both as S3-compatible remotes and provides a straightforward migration path.

Running RcloneView on an AWS EC2 instance gives you server-grade bandwidth for cloud transfers, 24/7 operation for scheduled jobs, and eliminates the need to route data through your local machine.

When migrating terabytes between cloud providers, your local internet connection becomes the bottleneck. An AWS EC2 instance with gigabit networking can transfer data between cloud services at speeds your home or office connection cannot match. Running RcloneView on EC2 also means transfers continue 24/7 without keeping a local machine running, and data moving between S3 and other AWS services stays within Amazon's network — often at no egress cost.

Azure Blob Storage is built for developers, but when your team needs collaboration features, Google Drive is the destination — RcloneView bridges the gap between object storage and consumer cloud.

Azure Blob Storage excels at serving applications — hot, cool, and archive tiers give developers fine-grained cost control for structured workloads. But when business needs shift toward document collaboration, shared editing, and Google Workspace integration, moving data from Azure containers to Google Drive becomes necessary. RcloneView connects to both platforms and provides a visual migration workflow that handles large containers, preserves folder structures, and verifies every transferred file.

This guide covers the full migration process, from configuring both remotes to setting up incremental sync for the transition period.

Backblaze B2 offers low storage costs, but egress and API fees can add up — RcloneView makes migrating to Wasabi's flat-rate pricing simple and verifiable.

Backblaze B2 and Wasabi are two of the most popular S3-compatible object storage providers for cost-conscious teams. While B2 is known for its low per-GB storage rate ($0.006/GB/month), its pricing model includes egress charges ($0.01/GB) and per-transaction fees that can surprise teams with read-heavy workloads. Wasabi offers a flat rate ($0.0069/GB/month) with no egress or API fees, making costs entirely predictable. RcloneView handles the migration between these two S3-compatible providers with a visual interface that eliminates the need for CLI scripting.

This guide covers the complete migration — from understanding the pricing differences to verifying every object after transfer.

Moving from Google Drive to Cloudflare R2 eliminates egress fees and gives you S3-compatible access to your data — RcloneView handles the entire migration visually.

Google Drive is a powerful collaboration platform, but as storage needs grow and data access patterns shift, many teams look to object storage for its scalability and API flexibility. Cloudflare R2 offers S3-compatible storage with zero egress fees, making it an attractive destination for data that needs to be served programmatically. RcloneView bridges the gap between these two very different storage models, handling Google Docs format conversion, large file transfers, and post-migration verification in a single GUI.

This guide walks through the complete migration process — from configuring both remotes to verifying every file arrived intact.

Your photo library is one of the most personal and irreplaceable collections you own — moving it between clouds requires care. RcloneView gives you a visual, step-by-step way to migrate your entire Google Photos library to OneDrive without losing your organizational structure.

Google Photos has been a default choice for photo storage for years, thanks to its integration with Android and Google's ecosystem. But circumstances change. Maybe you are moving to Microsoft 365, your Google storage is running low, or you prefer OneDrive's tighter integration with Windows. Whatever the reason, migrating a photo library with thousands (or tens of thousands) of images and videos requires a reliable process.

The challenge is that Google Photos is not a simple file system. It organizes photos by date, albums, and metadata rather than traditional folders. Rclone handles this by presenting Google Photos as a structured directory, and RcloneView gives you a visual interface to browse, select, and transfer everything to OneDrive — complete with monitoring and verification.

Moving from MEGA to Amazon S3 means shifting from consumer-grade encrypted storage to enterprise-grade object storage — but MEGA's bandwidth limits make the migration tricky. RcloneView gives you a visual, manageable way to plan, execute, and verify the entire migration.

MEGA is a popular cloud storage service known for its generous free tier and built-in end-to-end encryption. However, as your storage needs grow — or as you move toward professional infrastructure — Amazon S3's scalability, durability (99.999999999% or "eleven nines"), fine-grained access controls, and ecosystem integrations make it a compelling destination.

The catch is that MEGA imposes bandwidth limits on downloads, which means you cannot simply pull everything out at once. A successful migration requires planning, patience, and the right tooling. RcloneView provides the visual interface, scheduling, and monitoring capabilities to manage this process from start to finish without touching the command line.
