How to Transfer Files from MEGA to Google Drive

Table of Contents

You can transfer files from MEGA to Google Drive manually. Download them from MEGA, then upload them to Google Drive. For a larger collection*, All Cloud Hub, a cloud-to-cloud transfer option, turns out to be a time-saving choice. It moves files between connected cloud accounts without downloading them to your device. Before you start, check your Google Drive storage, the transfer limits, and how MEGA connects.*

A few documents move in minutes. A full archive needs a plan. Most people who move files from MEGA to Google Drive hit one of three limits. Google Drive runs out of space. MEGA pauses downloads when your transfer quota ends. Or a transfer service reaches its monthly allowance.

You can avoid all three if you check them first. This guide compares the manual route with a cloud-to-cloud service and walks through both. It also covers shared MEGA links, encryption, and stalled transfers.

The guide ends with the check that matters most. Verify your files in Google Drive before you delete anything from MEGA. Deleting the originals too early is the mistake that costs the most.

Which method should you use to transfer files from MEGA to Google Drive?

Three approaches cover most situations. Your total file size, file count, and comfort with technical tools decide which one fits.

Manual download and upload suits a few small files. It needs no extra service. The files pass through your computer, so you need free disk space and a stable connection. Large folders get slow because every file downloads and then uploads again.
Command-line utilities suit people who enjoy configuring tools. They give you fine control. You also handle the setup, the sign-in process, and any errors yourself. Most readers who move files once will not need that.
Match the method to your situation. Ten small files and a one-time move point to the manual route. An archive with thousands of files points to a cloud-to-cloud transfer. That holds especially when disk space or bandwidth is tight. A recurring job points the same way, because All Cloud Hub also supports scheduled transfers. However, manual transfer remains a fine choice for small jobs.

Before you start: Check storage space and transfer limits

Five minutes of checking prevents most stalled transfers.

Start with size. Open MEGA and estimate the total size of the folders you plan to move. Then check the free space in Google Drive. Google Drive shares its storage with Gmail and Google Photos, so those count too. If space runs short, learn what to do when Google Drive storage is full first.

Next, review the limits that apply to each service. Google’s Workspace Help lists a 750 GB upload and copy limit per user in 24 hours. It also lists a 5 TB maximum for a single file. Confirm which limits apply to your account type before you plan a large move.

MEGA limits downloads through a transfer quota. The amount depends on your account and plan. MEGA’s Help Centre explains how the quota resets. A cloud-to-cloud transfer still reads files from MEGA, so provider limits can affect it too.

Keep those two numbers separate. The account limit counts how many clouds you connect. The transfer allowance counts how much data you move. A 12 GB archive needs only two connected accounts, but it exceeds the Free allowance. Your cloud storage quota is a third limit, separate from both. If you need more room, compare free cloud storage plans before you commit.

No cloud-to-cloud transfer bypasses a limit set by MEGA, Google, or All Cloud Hub. Plan around the limits instead.

How to transfer files from MEGA to Google Drive with All Cloud Hub

These steps follow the labels in the current All Cloud Hub guides. Screens change over time, so match the names rather than the layout.

Check your files and destination storage. Estimate the size of the folders you want to move. Confirm that Google Drive has enough free space. Review the limits from the previous section.
Open or create your All Cloud Hub account. Sign in at the All Cloud Hub login page, or register for the Free plan. The website describes the Free plan as permanent, not a trial. If you need setup help, learn how to connect your first cloud account.
Connect your Google Drive account. Open Cloud Accounts and select Connect Account. Enter an Account Alias, such as Personal Google Drive, and choose Google Drive. A secure Google sign-in window opens. Pick your account, review the permissions, and click Continue. You never type your Google password into All Cloud Hub. The full guide explains how to connect Google Drive.
Connect your MEGA account. Repeat the process with an alias such as Personal MEGA. Select MEGA and click Connect Account. All Cloud Hub sends you to the official MEGA sign-in page. Sign in there, review the permissions, and click Allow. This flow differs from Google’s, so follow the prompts you see. The guide to connect MEGA to All Cloud Hub covers connection problems.
Locate the files or folders in MEGA. Open the Files section in FileVerse, the All Cloud Hub dashboard. Your MEGA account appears beside Google Drive. Browse to the files you want. You can select one file, a folder, or several items together.
Select the transfer action. Choose the transfer action for your selection. All Cloud Hub then asks you to pick Copy or Move. Copy creates the files in Google Drive and leaves the originals in MEGA. Move sends the files and then removes the originals from MEGA after the transfer completes. Choose Copy for your first transfer, because it keeps the originals safe.
Select the Google Drive destination. Choose your Google Drive account as the destination. Pick a folder if the interface offers one. Create a clearly named folder in Google Drive first, such as MEGA Import. That name makes the files easy to find and check later.
Start and monitor the transfer. Confirm the transfer and All Cloud Hub begins processing it. You can keep using the dashboard meanwhile. Track progress in the Transfers area, the run history, or your notifications.
Verify the transferred files. Open Google Drive and check the destination before you delete or change anything in MEGA. The verification section below lists the checks.

How to transfer MEGA files to Google Drive manually

The manual route works well for a small collection. It needs only your MEGA and Google accounts.

Sign in to MEGA and find the files or folders you need.
Download them to your computer using the download options in MEGA’s Help Centre.
Extract any downloaded archives if you want the original folder structure.
Sign in to Google Drive.
Upload the files or extracted folders by following Google’s steps to upload files and folders.
Confirm that every uploaded file appears in the destination.

This method has clear trade-offs. It needs no separate transfer service. It also needs enough local disk space for the whole download. Your connection carries every file twice, once down and once up. MEGA’s download quota, Google’s upload limits, and your free Drive space can all interrupt the process. Check your folder organization after extraction and after upload.

For a few files, this is the right choice. A third-party workflow adds little when the job takes ten minutes.

How to transfer a shared MEGA folder link to Google Drive

A shared link works differently from a connected account. You own a connected account and authorize access to it. A shared link gives you access to someone else’s files, under rules the owner sets.

Start in MEGA instead. Open the link and use the download or import options the link owner allows. Importing a link can use your own MEGA storage, depending on the method. Check your free space before you import a large folder.

Once the files sit in your MEGA account, they count as your own files. You can then move them to Google Drive manually or with All Cloud Hub. If the owner restricts the link, ask them for the access you need.

What happens to your files’ encryption when you move them to Google Drive?

MEGA describes its service as end-to-end encrypted. In that model, the encryption keys stay with you rather than with the provider. Files lose that service-specific protection when they leave MEGA. The protection does not follow them to Google Drive.

Google Drive uses its own security model. Google encrypts stored files and files in transit, and Google manages that protection. That model works for most documents. It differs from MEGA’s, so judge it against what your files need.

Sensitive files deserve extra care. Encrypt them yourself with a tool you trust before they reach Google Drive. Store the password somewhere safe. This step needs the manual route. You must download each file, encrypt it, and upload the result.

All Cloud Hub connects to Google Drive through OAuth 2.0. OAuth lets you approve an app on Google’s own page. The app never sees your password. The website says All Cloud Hub does not store passwords, meaning your files stay in your own cloud accounts. TAC Security independently assessed All Cloud Hub for CASA Tier 2. That Google API Services verification covers how it handles Google API access. It does not make any transfer risk-free. MEGA signs you in on MEGA’s own page. All Cloud Hub says it never stores that password either.

Why did my MEGA-to-Google Drive transfer stop?

Several causes can stop a transfer, and no single cause fits every case. Check these first.

MEGA’s transfer quota ran out.
Google Drive has no free space, or you reached a Google upload limit.
Your All Cloud Hub plan allowance ran out for the month.
A temporary connection or provider error interrupted the job.
A file or folder failed to process, often because of permissions.

Read the error message first. Then check your account quotas, the free space in Google Drive, and the transfer status. Make sure both accounts still show as connected.

Fix the cause before you retry. Retrying will not add storage space or reset a quota. The All Cloud Hub guide advises retrying the affected transfer after you fix the problem.

Never try to bypass a provider restriction. Waiting for a quota reset or upgrading a plan are the legitimate fixes.

How to verify your files before deleting them from MEGA

Deleting the originals ends your safety net. Spend a few minutes confirming the copy first. Choosing Copy instead of Move keeps the originals in MEGA while you check.

Compare the number of expected files and folders with the destination.
Open a sample of files, including large files and files inside nested folders.
Check file names and folder organization.
Confirm that your most important files open from Google Drive.

The All Cloud Hub guides do not describe a built-in file comparison feature. Treat these checks as manual work. Keep the MEGA originals until you feel confident the transfer is complete.

Choose the method, then check before you delete

Small jobs fit the manual route. Large collections and recurring moves fit a cloud-to-cloud service. Either way, check your storage and limits first. Verify the result in Google Drive before you remove anything from MEGA.

To try the cloud-to-cloud route, create a Free account. Then transfer files between cloud accounts with All Cloud Hub. You can learn more about All Cloud Hub before you sign up.

Frequently asked questions

How can I transfer files from MEGA to Google Drive?

You have two options. For a small transfer, download the files from MEGA and upload them to Google Drive. For a larger one, connect both accounts to All Cloud Hub. Then transfer the files between them. Check storage and limits first with either method.

How do I transfer files from MEGA to Google Drive without downloading them?

Use a cloud-to-cloud workflow. In All Cloud Hub, connect Google Drive and MEGA. Open your MEGA files and choose Copy or Move. Then select Google Drive as the destination. Your files do not pass through your device.

Can I transfer a large MEGA folder to Google Drive?

Often yes, but limits decide the outcome. Google Drive needs enough free space. MEGA’s transfer quota and Google’s upload limits apply. Your All Cloud Hub plan allowance applies too. No tool promises that a particular volume will finish in one session.

Why does my MEGA transfer stop partway through?

Common causes include a MEGA transfer quota, low Google Drive storage, and an exhausted plan allowance. Temporary errors can also interrupt a job. Read the specific error and check each account’s limits before you retry.

Will my files remain encrypted after moving them from MEGA to Google Drive?

MEGA’s end-to-end encryption does not carry over automatically. Google Drive applies its own security model. For sensitive files, encrypt them yourself before you upload them.

Does All Cloud Hub store my password or files?

The website says All Cloud Hub does not store your cloud account passwords. Your files stay in your own cloud accounts, and the service does not keep permanent copies. It does keep account details, file metadata, and connection information to run the service.
