Copy OneDrive and Google Drive Files to Another OneDrive Account
ClassSync Mover supports cross-tenant OneDrive migration by copying selected files and folders between Microsoft 365 school accounts. It also supports Google Drive to OneDrive and Microsoft Teams to OneDrive file transfers. Original files remain in the source account. Transfer data is processed on the user’s local PC and is not stored on ClassSync or third-party external servers.
Unlike a full Microsoft 365 tenant migration, ClassSync Mover does not move the entire OneDrive account, user identity, permissions, or tenant configuration. It copies selected files and folders to the destination OneDrive while keeping the original content in the source account.

How Cross-Tenant OneDrive Migration Works in 3 Steps
For the simplest and most reliable file copy, follow the recommended three-step process below. Loading the destination list and using Auto Select helps exclude files that have already been copied and makes it easier to resume an interrupted transfer.
Step 1. Select Source Drive
Select OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, or Google Drive as the source, and then fetch the file list. ClassSync Mover signs in when required and displays the available files and folders.
If the Teams file list does not appear, contact your school’s Microsoft 365 administrator. After approval is completed, enable the Teams option and select Fetch Teams List again.
1-3. Google Drive: Fetch Google Drive List
Step 2. View the Destination List and Use Auto Select
Select View Destination List to sign in to the destination OneDrive and display the files and folders already stored there. Then select Auto Select to compare the source and destination lists.
Auto Select compares the file path, file name, and file size in both lists. Files that exist in the source but are not found in the destination are automatically selected.
This feature is especially useful when copying many files or restarting an interrupted transfer. Auto Select helps exclude files that have already been copied and quickly selects the files that still need to be copied.
File size helps Auto Select compare the source and destination lists. When copying begins, an existing destination file is overwritten if its folder path and file name match the selected source file.
Step 3. 3. Import Source File(s)
Select Import Source File(s) to copy the selected files and folders to the destination OneDrive. The operation creates copies in the destination and does not move, delete, or modify the source files.
The Pending count displayed on the transfer screen may include files waiting at different processing stages, so it may not match the number of files in the internal upload queue..
Current Default File Transfer Settings
• Files downloading at the same time: up to 4
• Files waiting to upload: up to 5
• Files uploading at the same time: up to 4
These values are the current defaults and may change in future versions as transfer performance, stability, and resource usage are improved.

Source Files: The copy operation does not delete or modify source files.
Existing Files: If the source and destination folder paths and file names match, the destination file is overwritten with the source content.
Permissions: Some files may not be copied because of source-cloud permissions, organizational policies, or API restrictions.
Processing Limits: Actual activity may vary depending on file sizes, PC performance, network conditions, and cloud API responses.

Q8. What happens if the same file already exists?
If the source and destination paths and file names are identical, the destination file is overwritten with the source content.
Q9. Are copied files stored on external servers?
No. Transfer data is processed on the user’s local PC and is not stored on ClassSync’s external servers.
Q10. Does ClassSync download all files before uploading them?
No. Files begin uploading as soon as their downloads are complete and upload capacity becomes available. The app does not need to store all selected files locally before uploading begins.
Q11. Why does ClassSync use a parallel transfer pipeline?
The pipeline reduces temporary storage requirements by processing a limited number of files at each stage. It also allows downloading and uploading to continue concurrently.
Q12. Can I copy files without viewing the destination list?
Yes. If the destination OneDrive is signed in, selected source files can be copied without loading the destination list. However, the destination list will remain empty in the app, and destination comparison and Auto Select will not be available.
For the recommended workflow, especially when copying many files or restarting an interrupted transfer, fetch the source list, view the destination list, use Auto Select, and then select Import Source File(s).

The email ID (OneID) is used for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts. Additionally, class information is utilized for creating class groups in both platforms and is also used when generating student rosters in bulk based on class details and student counts. By using the Google ID Match and Microsoft ID Match features, you can retrieve user IDs from the cloud (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) that match the names in the teacher roster and display them on this screen.
Student Roster
This screen provides functionality for managing the student roster. You can view and manage information such as student ID, name, email ID (OneID), assigned class, and grade level.
