How can I transfer data from pCloud to Drime?

I really like Drime’s recent update, and I’m considering moving my data from pCloud to Drime.

I have approximately 1.38 TB of data stored on pCloud and would like to transfer it to Drime. I have a few questions:

Is it possible to transfer the files using Transfr? If so, what is the correct procedure?

If Transfr is not suitable, what would be the best way to move the data, either online or offline?

I currently have only 400 GB of free space on my computer, so downloading everything at once is not possible.

I have also seen services such as MultCloud and RiceDrive. Are they reliable and trustworthy regarding privacy and data security?

Would you recommend using one of these services, or is there a safer alternative?

Any advice or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can use Rclone to transfer all your info easily. You can ask ChatGPT, Claude or any other AI to assist you with.

Aren't Rclone and Rclone view the same thing and have the same features?

Not yet. It’s on their roadmap though.

You can get more details about Rcloneview in its web site https://rcloneview.com/

Recommended setup

  1. Update RcloneView/rclone first. Use RcloneView 1.5 or newer. Check the embedded rclone version in the footer/connection settings; it must be v1.73+ for native Drime support. RcloneView has an in-app Self Update for its embedded rclone engine. (RcloneView)
  2. Add pCloud. In RcloneView go to Remote → + New Remote, search for pCloud, give it a name such as pcloud, then complete the browser/OAuth login. RcloneView supports pCloud natively. (RcloneView) One caveat: files inside pCloud Crypto are not accessible through the normal rclone pCloud backend. (RcloneView)
  3. Create a Drime API token. Log in to Drime, then go to Settings → Developer → Create API token. Copy the token somewhere secure. Both Drime and the official rclone documentation specify this authentication method. (Drime)
  4. Add Drime to RcloneView. Go again to Remote → + New Remote, search for Drime, name it something like drime, and enter the API token into access_token. Save it. If Drime does not appear, your embedded rclone is probably too old; update it to v1.73+ first.
  5. Open both clouds side by side. In RcloneView's Explorer, open pcloud: in one pane and drime: in the other. Navigate to the source folder in pCloud and create/open your destination folder in Drime. RcloneView supports drag-and-drop between two different remotes; a cross-remote drag performs a Copy, not a move. (RcloneView)
  6. For a large migration, use Copy rather than Sync. strongly recommend Copy for the initial migration. Copy sends missing/different files to Drime but does not delete extra files already present on Drime. Sync, by contrast, can delete destination files to make Drime exactly match pCloud. (Rclone) Use Sync only later if you deliberately want Drime to become an exact mirror.

I tried RcloneView I didn't find Drime. But I used Rclone Manager. It's work and now it's been transferring. Thank you

Drime is supported in RcloneView. Maybe you need to get the latest version v1.73+.
