# Move Files From Another Cloud
|
|
|
|
This guide helps you move files from services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, or another cloud folder.
|
|
|
|
## Choose a Migration Method
|
|
|
|
### Small Move
|
|
|
|
Use the NuQloud web interface.
|
|
|
|
1. Download files from your old cloud.
|
|
2. Open NuQloud Files.
|
|
3. Create folders where you want the files to go.
|
|
4. Drag files or folders into NuQloud.
|
|
5. Wait for uploads to finish.
|
|
|
|
### Larger Move
|
|
|
|
Use desktop sync.
|
|
|
|
1. Install the compatible NuQloud desktop sync app.
|
|
2. Create a local NuQloud sync folder.
|
|
3. Download files from your old cloud to your computer.
|
|
4. Move files into the local NuQloud sync folder.
|
|
5. Let the sync app upload them.
|
|
|
|
### Very Large Move
|
|
|
|
Ask your provider for help if you have:
|
|
|
|
- Hundreds of gigabytes or more.
|
|
- Shared folders with complex permissions.
|
|
- Business data that must preserve ownership.
|
|
- A slow home connection.
|
|
|
|
## Suggested Folder Layout
|
|
|
|
Create a simple structure before migrating:
|
|
|
|
- Documents
|
|
- Photos
|
|
- Projects
|
|
- Shared
|
|
- Archives
|
|
- Backups
|
|
|
|
## Move Shared Folders Carefully
|
|
|
|
Cloud services handle sharing differently. Before deleting old shares:
|
|
|
|
1. Recreate the folder in NuQloud.
|
|
2. Upload or sync the content.
|
|
3. Share the NuQloud folder with the right people.
|
|
4. Confirm they can access it.
|
|
5. Only then remove or archive the old cloud share.
|
|
|
|
## After Migration
|
|
|
|
- Check file counts and folder sizes.
|
|
- Spot-check important files.
|
|
- Set up desktop sync for ongoing backups.
|
|
- Enable mobile photo auto-upload if needed.
|
|
- Decide which files should also be published to QDN.
|
|
|
|
## Important Difference
|
|
|
|
Moving files into NuQloud Files stores them in your cloud account.
|
|
|
|
Publishing files to QDN is a separate action. Only publish files that you intentionally want available through the decentralized layer.
