OpenDrive and Google Drive are two popular cloud storage services. While OpenDrive specializes in media storage for creatives, Google Drive offers more general-purpose cloud storage and office tools. You may need to move files from OpenDrive to Google Drive to consolidate storage or access files in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.
Manually downloading files from OpenDrive and uploading them to Google Drive is tedious for large transfers. Fortunately, RiceDrive makes it easy to directly transfer files between the two services. Here is how to use RiceDrive to transfer files from OpenDrive to Google Drive:
