Here's how you can do it:
Download the files from Google Drive to your computer. You can do that either by selecting them and clicking the “Download” button or by using Google Takeout.
If you decide to use Google Takeout, please note that it will not download files and folders that are shared with you. To save the documents that other people have shared with you, select and download them manually from the “Shared with me” section of your Drive.
Upload the files to your OneDrive.
Step 2 of manual migration to OneDrive. The menu for the upload from the hard drive
How to upload files to OneDrive
The obvious drawback of this method is that you have to handle your owned and shared files separately.But there are other important things that you should also take into account before you begin:
Depending on the size of your Google Drive account, the download and upload process may take up to several days or even weeks.
You will need to have enough storage space on your hard drive for a copy of your Google Drive account.
Your computer will have to stay powered on during the whole download and upload process. Any interruptions to the internet connection and power supply can cause the process to fail.
When you download multiple files (either manually or using Google Takeout), Google puts them in archives. To recreate the structure of your Google Drive in OneDrive, you will have to unzip the archives on your computer and re-organize the files before you upload them to OneDrive.
If you have a large account (over 10 GB) and decide to use Google Takeout, your archive will be split into several parts by default. Some of them may fail to generate properly and the archive will have to be requested again.To know more about Google Drive to OneDrive Migration visit, https://www.o365cloudexperts.com/blog/google-drive-to-onedrive-migration
