Mover is a OneDrive migration tool that allows you to quickly and easily migrate data from Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP, and other platforms to the OneDrive platform. Mover was officially acquired by Microsoft on October 21, 2019, which indicates that it has been recognized by Microsoft. If you are planning to migrate data to OneDrive, you can take a look at Mover.

Registering Mover

To register for Mover, go to https://app.mover.io/account/create and activate your account through the link sent to your email.

Adding Migration Sources

Mover supports a wide range of source platforms, including Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP, and more. The screenshot below shows some of the supported platforms.

The process of adding each source may vary, but it is generally simple. Start by clicking on "Transfer Wizard" at the top to create a new transfer. Then, select the source you want to migrate from and follow the prompts to complete the authorization.

Selecting Migration Targets

Since Mover's main focus is migrating data to OneDrive, it only supports Microsoft products as migration targets. Other cloud storage platforms are not supported. See the screenshot below.

Click on "Authorize New Connector" and follow the prompts to add a target source.

Starting the Migration

Once the previous steps are completed, you can start the migration process. You can click on "Migration Manager" in the navigation bar to view migration tasks, progress, logs, and other details.

User Experience

xiaoz attempted to migrate data from FTP to OneDrive using Mover. There were many failed files, and Chinese characters were displayed as garbled text. The speed was slow, but it was still much better than manual migration. The operation was also relatively simple. You can try migrating to other target sources to see the success rate and speed.

Mover vs MultCloud

In an earlier blog post, xiaoz shared about "MultCloud: Convenient Cloud Storage Management (Cloud-to-Cloud Transfer) Tool" (link to the blog post). MultCloud is also a cloud storage migration (transfer) tool that supports more source and target platforms than Mover. It provides a Chinese interface and is easy to use. However, registering for MultCloud now comes with monthly traffic limits.

If you only need to migrate to OneDrive, you can try Mover, which has no traffic limits. If you need to migrate to other cloud storage platforms or create backups between different platforms, MultCloud may be more suitable. MultCloud has more features, and both tools can be tried out by users.

Conclusion

Mover supports most mainstream target sources and allows for easy migration of data to OneDrive without traffic limitations. However, Mover cannot guarantee 100% complete migration and currently only supports migration to Microsoft storage products.

Note: xiaoz still has one Office 365 slot available, which includes a full suite of licensed Office products and 1TB of OneDrive storage. If you are interested, please contact me via QQ: 337003006 for more information.
