How to mail outlook one drive content to google onedrive

To mail Outlook OneDrive content to Google OneDrive, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have an Outlook account with OneDrive integration.
  2. You have a Google account with OneDrive integration (Note: Google Drive is not the same as OneDrive, but you can use Google Drive as a recipient).
  3. You have the necessary permissions to access and share files in both accounts.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare your files: Select the files you want to share from your Outlook OneDrive account. You can do this by opening Outlook, navigating to the OneDrive folder, and selecting the files you want to share.
  2. Create a ZIP file: Right-click on the selected files and choose "Send to" > "Compressed (zipped) folder" to create a ZIP file containing the selected files.
  3. Attach the ZIP file to an email: Open Outlook and compose a new email. Attach the ZIP file you created in step 2 to the email.
  4. Set the email recipient: Enter the email address of the Google account you want to share the files with. You can use the recipient's Gmail address or their Google Drive account email address (e.g., [username]@gmail.com).
  5. Add a note (optional): You can add a note or description to the email to provide context or instructions for the recipient.
  6. Send the email: Send the email with the attached ZIP file to the Google account.

Receiving and Unzipping the Files in Google Drive:

  1. Receive the email: The recipient will receive the email with the attached ZIP file in their Google account.
  2. Download the ZIP file: The recipient can download the ZIP file from the email attachment.
  3. Unzip the files: The recipient can unzip the files using a file archiver like 7-Zip or WinZip.
  4. Upload the files to Google Drive: The recipient can upload the unzipped files to their Google Drive account.

Alternative Method:

If you prefer not to use email attachments, you can use the OneDrive web interface to share files directly with Google Drive. Here's how:

  1. Log in to OneDrive: Go to the OneDrive website and log in to your account.
  2. Select the files: Choose the files you want to share and click the "Share" button.
  3. Enter the recipient's email: Enter the email address of the Google account you want to share the files with.
  4. Choose the sharing option: Select the "Share a link" option and choose "Google Drive" as the sharing service.
  5. Set permissions: Set the permissions for the shared files, such as "View" or "Edit".
  6. Share the link: Click the "Share" button to share the link with the Google account.

The recipient will receive an email with a link to access the shared files in their Google Drive account.
