"OneDrive allows 250 GB files — will they fit into Degoo?"

"Not on every plan. Degoo caps single files at \u003cstrong\u003e256 MB on Free\u003c/strong\u003e, around \u003cstrong\u003e1 GB on lifetime deals\u003c/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e50 GB on recurring Pro/Ultimate subscriptions\u003c/strong\u003e — so even the best case falls short of OneDrive's 250 GB ceiling. Use CloudsLinker's size filter to exclude oversized files and park them elsewhere (an S3 bucket or an external drive)."

Offloading OneDrive to Degoo's 5 TB Plan: A Practical Migration Guide

Q: "Is my folder structure preserved during the transfer?"

"Yes. CloudsLinker recreates the OneDrive folder tree inside the Degoo destination folder exactly — nested folders, names and hierarchy all carry over. Only file modification dates change: Degoo's API stamps files with the upload date rather than the original timestamp."

Q: "How does CloudsLinker connect to my OneDrive account?"

"Through Microsoft's standard OAuth flow at \u003ccode\u003elogin.microsoftonline.com\u003c/code\u003e. You sign in with Microsoft directly; CloudsLinker receives a scoped access token and never sees your password. Revoke it any time from your Microsoft account's app permissions page."

Q: "What happens if Degoo runs out of space mid-transfer?"

"The job pauses on quota errors and reports which files didn't copy. Degoo's free tier is 20 GB — check the total size of your OneDrive selection first, and upgrade to Pro (500 GB, $2.99/mo) or Ultimate (5 TB, $9.99/mo) before starting a large job."

Q: "Will my archive survive in Degoo long-term? I heard about deletions."

"Degoo removes files from \u003cstrong\u003efree\u003c/strong\u003e accounts after 90 days without account activity. Paid subscribers are exempt. If you're archiving data you won't touch for months, either keep a paid plan active or set a calendar reminder to open the Degoo app periodically."

Q: "Do OneNote notebooks transfer to Degoo?"

"No — OneNote notebooks live in OneDrive as special package items, not ordinary files, and no third-party transfer preserves them as working notebooks. Export notebooks from OneNote itself first; regular Office files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) transfer to Degoo as normal files without issues."

Q: "Can I move only part of my OneDrive instead of everything?"

"Yes. CloudsLinker lets you pick individual folders as the source, and filters narrow the selection further by file type, size or date — useful for sending only old video files to Degoo while active documents stay in OneDrive."

Move files from OneDrive to Degoo server-to-server with CloudsLinker — free your Microsoft 365 quota and archive into Degoo's 5 TB Ultimate tier.

Introduction

Degoo sells one thing well: bulk consumer storage at a low price, with 5 TB on the Ultimate plan for $9.99 a month and a 20 GB free tier to start. A OneDrive account tied to Microsoft 365 stops at 1 TB per user, and the 5 GB free tier fills up after a single phone backup. When old project folders, camera dumps and video archives crowd out the documents you actually collaborate on, moving the cold data to a cheaper shelf makes sense. This guide covers two working ways to get files from OneDrive into Degoo — a manual download-and-upload route, and a server-side transfer with CloudsLinker that avoids re-downloading anything through your own connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OneDrive?

OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage, woven into Windows and Microsoft 365. Free accounts get 5 GB; a Microsoft 365 subscription raises that to 1 TB per user, with files synced through the built-in desktop client and edited directly in Office apps.

What is Degoo?

Degoo is a Sweden-based, mobile-first cloud built around phone photo backup, priced for bulk: 20 GB free, 500 GB for $2.99/mo (Pro), and 5 TB for $9.99/mo (Ultimate). There is no desktop sync client — data flows in through the mobile apps, the paid web uploader, or a cloud-to-cloud service.

20 GB free (expandable via referrals), ads on free tier
Per-file cap: 256 MB free / 50 GB on paid subscriptions
Zero-knowledge "Top Secret" folder on paid plans
Free-tier files deleted after 90 days of inactivity

Preparing to Transfer from OneDrive to Degoo

Check three numbers before you start. First, the total size of what you're moving — right-click the folders in OneDrive and add up the sizes, then make sure your Degoo plan can hold it (20 GB free, 500 GB Pro, 5 TB Ultimate). Second, your largest single file: anything above your Degoo plan's per-file cap (256 MB free, 50 GB on subscriptions) will be rejected, so plan to filter or split those. Third, decide whether this archive will sit untouched for months — if so, a paid Degoo plan avoids the free tier's 90-day inactivity deletion. Emptying the OneDrive recycle bin and skipping OneNote notebooks (which don't export as regular files) also saves wasted transfer volume.

Method 1: Manual Download and Re-upload

Step 1: Download files from OneDrive

Sign in at onedrive.live.com, select the folders you want to move, and click Download. OneDrive packages multi-folder selections as ZIP archives — large selections are split into several ZIPs, and you'll need enough local disk space to hold and extract everything.

Step 2: Upload to Degoo

Extract the ZIPs, then upload through Degoo's web app at app.degoo.com — available on paid plans. On the free plan, uploads go through the Degoo mobile app, which means copying the files to your phone first; for anything beyond a few gigabytes this becomes the bottleneck. Remember the per-file cap: 256 MB on free accounts.

This route is workable for a few documents. It doubles the transfer volume (download, then upload), depends on your home bandwidth in both directions, and free-tier users are pushed through the phone — which is why the next method exists.

Method 2: Transfer OneDrive to Degoo Directly in the Cloud

Skip the double download — and the missing desktop client

CloudsLinker copies OneDrive files into Degoo server-to-server, which matters more here than for most destinations: Degoo has no desktop sync client to drag files into, and its web uploader is paid-plan-only. CloudsLinker connects to OneDrive via Microsoft OAuth and to Degoo with account credentials, then moves the data on its own infrastructure — your 1 TB Microsoft 365 quota drains into Degoo's 5 TB tier without a single byte passing through your connection.

Step 1: Connect OneDrive

In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud and choose OneDrive. A Microsoft sign-in window opens at login.microsoftonline.com — authenticate there and approve access. CloudsLinker receives a scoped token; your password stays with Microsoft. If your account has several drives, pick the drive resource to connect after authorization.

Step 2: Connect Degoo

Click Add Cloud again and choose Degoo. Enter a display name, your Degoo account email, and your password, then confirm. CloudsLinker validates the login against Degoo's API and caches a session token, so subsequent jobs won't re-authenticate. Note that files in Degoo's zero-knowledge Top Secret folder stay invisible to any third-party tool.

Step 3: Configure the Transfer

Open the Transfer section. Select your connected OneDrive as the source and browse to the folders you want to move. On the destination side, select Degoo and choose the target directory.

Set a size filter to exclude files above your Degoo plan's per-file cap (50 GB on subscriptions, 256 MB on free), and choose Copy rather than Move for the first run — keep the OneDrive originals until the result is verified.

Step 4: Start and Monitor the Transfer

Click start. Track progress from the Task List, which shows transferred size, speed, and remaining items. The transfer runs entirely in the cloud — close the browser, shut the laptop; the job continues either way.

Comparing the Ways to Transfer From OneDrive to Degoo

Method	Ease of Use	Speed	Best For	Uses Local Bandwidth	Skill Level
Manual download / re-upload	Medium	Slow (double transfer)	A few small files; paid Degoo web uploader	Yes — twice	Basic
CloudsLinker	Easy	Fast (server-side)	Bulk archives; free Degoo accounts; unattended jobs	No	Basic

Practical Tips for Moving OneDrive to Degoo

Filter by file size first: OneDrive tolerates single files up to 250 GB; Degoo subscriptions cap at 50 GB per file. A size filter in the transfer settings keeps oversized files from failing the job.
Size the Degoo plan to the job: 500 GB (Pro, $2.99/mo) covers most document archives; camera and video collections usually need the 5 TB Ultimate tier at $9.99/mo.
Don't archive to a free Degoo account and walk away: the 90-day inactivity deletion applies to free tiers only. Either stay on a paid plan or open the Degoo app now and then.
Export OneNote notebooks separately: they're stored as package items in OneDrive and won't arrive as usable files in any third-party transfer. Regular Office documents transfer fine.
Expect upload-date timestamps in Degoo: Degoo's API doesn't accept original modification times, so don't rely on dates for sorting after the move — folder structure is the reliable index.
Run Copy, verify, then clean up: compare item counts in the CloudsLinker task report before deleting anything from OneDrive; OneDrive's recycle bin holds deletions for 30 days (93 for Business) as a safety net.

Conclusion

For a handful of documents, the manual route works: download from onedrive.com, upload through Degoo's web app or mobile app. For anything measured in tens of gigabytes — or for a free Degoo account where the web uploader isn't available — CloudsLinker is the practical path: OAuth into OneDrive, credentials into Degoo, and the copy runs on CloudsLinker's servers while your laptop stays closed. Filter out files above your Degoo plan's per-file cap before starting, and keep the OneDrive originals until you've verified the item counts match.
