How to Transfer Data from Google Drive to ASUS WebStorage?

When you are preparing to transfer files from Google Drive to ASUS WebStorage, this article introduces two transfer methods. You can choose the method that best suits you based on the amount of data:

  • Method 1: Manual download and upload via the web version (Suitable for: a small number of files and a smaller total capacity)

  • Method 2: Transfer via Desktop Sync Application (Suitable for: large amounts of data and complex folder structures)

Before You Begin

Before starting the transfer, please confirm the following two points to ensure a smooth transfer process:

  1. Confirm available storage capacity: First, sign in to your ASUS WebStorage account and confirm that the remaining available space is greater than the total amount of data you plan to transfer from Google Drive.

  2. Maintain a stable network connection: We recommend performing the transfer in an environment with a stable network connection (preferably a wired network or Wi-Fi with a strong signal).

Method 1: Manual Transfer via Web Browser

If you only have a few photos or documents to move, operating directly through a web browser is the fastest method.

  • Step 1: Download data from Google Drive

    1. Log in to your Google Drive web version.

    2. Select the files or folders you want to transfer (hold the Ctrl key on Windows or Command key on Mac to select multiple items).

    3. Right-click and select [Download].

    4. The system will automatically package the files into one or more ZIP compressed files and download them to your local computer.

    5. After the download is complete, please extract (unzip) the file on your computer first.

  • Step 2: Upload to ASUS WebStorage

    1. Log in to the ASUS WebStorage web version.

    2. Enter the directory where you want to store the files (e.g., My Sync Folder / MySyncFolder).

    3. Drag and drop the files or folders you just extracted on your computer directly into the web browser window; or click the [New] button in the upper-right corner and select files or add a new folder.

    4. Wait for the upload progress bar at the bottom of the page to finish, and the transfer is complete!

Method 2: Transfer via Desktop Application

Uploading via a web browser can easily be interrupted by minor network fluctuations. It is recommended to use desktop sync software, which can also fully preserve your original folder structure.

  • Step 1: Download and install the sync software

    • Go to the official ASUS WebStorage website to download and install xDrive.

    • After installation, log in to your account. A dedicated sync folder will appear on your computer (default name is MySyncFolder).

  • Step 2: Download Google Drive data

    • Option 1 - Web Download: Same as Method 1, package and download the Google Drive data to your computer and extract it.

    • Option 2 - Use Google Drive for Desktop: If you already have Google Drive for Desktop installed, you can directly open the Google Drive virtual drive on your computer and copy the files you want to move.

  • Step 3: Drag and drop for automatic background sync

    1. Open two folder windows on your computer:

      • Left: Extracted Google Drive data.

      • Right: xDrive MySyncFolder folder.

    2. Copy (or cut) the files on the left and paste them into the folder on the right.

    3. xDrive will automatically start uploading files in the background. You don't need to stay in front of your computer; the system will complete all the migration work.
