Use case

Cloud-to-cloud file transfer

Move files between Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and pCloud on our infrastructure. Your laptop never becomes the middleman.

Why this works well

  • No double bandwidth hit of download then re-upload
  • Works even on slow or metered local networks
  • Ideal for consolidating archives across providers

Typical flow

  1. Connect source and destination cloud accounts.
  2. Browse or select the file on the source drive.
  3. Choose the destination provider and path.
  4. Start the job and track it until completion.

Juggling multiple cloud apps vs. SaveToDrives

What actually happens during a transfer

SaveToDrives connects to both accounts through their official APIs. A background worker opens a read stream from the source and pipes it straight into the destination, the file is never written to a disk we keep, and it never routes through your browser. Copy leaves the original in place. Move deletes the source only after the destination confirms a complete, verified upload.

FAQ

Is cloud-to-cloud on the free plan?

Yes. Free accounts get 5 GB of cloud-to-cloud transfer per month, one file at a time on a shared server. Paid plans add multi-file batches and dedicated capacity.

Do you store a copy during the move?

No durable copy. Bytes stream source → worker → destination for the duration of the job.

What if the source token expires mid-transfer?

The job fails and does not consume quota. Reconnect the provider and retry.

Can I move between any two connected providers, not just Google Drive and Dropbox?

Yes. Any two connected accounts, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or pCloud, can be source and destination in either direction.

What happens if a transfer fails partway through?

The failed item retries automatically. Only completed transfers count toward your monthly quota.
