This guide will help you import all your data from Google Drive to kDrive Infomaniak using the rclone-ui graphical application.

Introduction

• Other import guides available:
  • Dropbox, using the kDrive assistant (❓: help)
  • Microsoft OneDrive, using the kDrive assistant (❓: help)
  • Any kDrive accessible by the same user, using the kDrive assistant (❓: help)
  • Any compatible provider, using rclone (❓: help)
    • Example: Apple iCloud (❓: help)
• Some data will not be imported:
  • Data that has been shared with you (only data that actually belongs to you will be imported).
  • Google documents such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, etc. (these are not standard files and must be manually exported in a standard office format from Google Drive if necessary).
• A second import will re-import all the data (to a different directory in kDrive): this is not a differential synchronization, and there is no duplicate management.

1. Establish the connection with Google Drive (the source)

To add your Google Drive to rclone:

1. Download and open the rclone-ui application (❓: help).
2. Go to the menu and choose to create a new remote connection (i.e., your current provider).
3. Give your source an explicit name (e.g., GoogleDrive).
4. Select Google Drive from the list of supported providers.
5. Leave the optional client credentials fields blank (unless you are using your own personal OAuth API key), then validate to open the authentication window in your web browser.
6. Log in to your Google account and authorize rclone to access it to complete the association.

2. Establish the connection with kDrive (the destination)

To add your kDrive to rclone:

1. In the rclone-ui window displaying your existing connections, click the add button to create the destination.
2. Give your destination location a name (e.g. kDrive).
3. Select Infomaniak kDrive from the list.
4. Enter your kDrive ID kDrive ID (❓: help).
5. A browser window will open: log in to your Infomaniak account to access the same kDrive as the one indicated in step 4 (if you log in to a different Infomaniak account or one that is already active on another profile, the import will not work) and wait for the confirmation message.

3. Copy data from Google Drive to kDrive

To start copying your data:

1. From the rclone-ui home page, click Copy.
2. Select your source GoogleDrive and navigate through the directory structure to choose all or part of the folders or files to transfer.
3. Select your destination kDrive and choose the folder where you want to store your imported data.
4. The eye icon allows you to simulate the copy process and view the virtual result.
5. Start the copy process by clicking on the dedicated button. The transfer button allows you to monitor the copy in real time.
6. Once the copy is complete, your imported data will be visible within your kDrive.
