Pcloud to google drive downloading locally

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am trying to migrate from pcloud to google drive, I thought I could transfer files from remote to remote without downloading them first. Is this possible with rclone or am I doing something wrong? This is the command I am trying:

rclone copy --progress pcloud: gdrive:

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

  • os/arch: windows/386
  • go version: go1.12.10

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Windows 10 64bit

I am pretty sure that won't be possible.
Server-side copying is possible in some cases, but it usually needs to be from for example one google system to another. I haven't heard of it being done between two unrelated services.
I may be wrong on this - but at least I am not aware of this being possible.

If it's a lot of data and you don't have much bandwidth then it's always an option to go make a minimal VM on GCP and transfer it via this. Importing to Gdrive you can do this either free or at a trivial cost depending on the setup you prefer (it can be done on as little as a microinstance VM).

You cant move from pcloud to gdrive. Only gdrive to gdrive without download locally.

But.. If you use some service like multcloud can do it.
