Google Photos → OneDrive
Skip the Takeout headache. PhotoBridge moves your Google Photos straight into OneDrive with original capture dates restored and nothing re-compressed.
Free tier to try it · one-time pass for a full migration · no subscription
OneDrive is a natural home if you're already on Microsoft 365 — your photos sit alongside your files with generous included storage. The catch is Google Takeout: it hands you a pile of giant ZIPs with the real dates buried in sidecar files. PhotoBridge does the unpacking, date-fixing, and uploading for you.
Google Takeout dumps the real capture date into a separate .json file, so exported photos show the export date instead. PhotoBridge reads those sidecars and writes the original date back into each photo's EXIF — your library stays in order.
Every photo and video is moved byte-for-byte. We never re-encode, downscale, or strip metadata — what lands at your destination is exactly what Google had.
Already-moved files are detected and skipped, so you can run it again safely. A migration survives interruptions and picks up where it left off — even a multi-hundred-GB library.
How it works
Pick Google Photos in Takeout and choose a large archive size. PhotoBridge's in-app guide walks you through it.
Sign in and authorize OneDrive in one click. PhotoBridge only ever writes to the folder you choose.
We download each archive, restore the original photo dates from the Takeout sidecars, and upload everything to OneDrive — organized by date.
Close the tab. We email you a report when it's finished, showing exactly how many photos moved.
Yes. PhotoBridge reads the capture date from each photo's Google Takeout sidecar and writes it back into the photo's EXIF metadata before uploading, so OneDrive sorts them by when they were actually taken.
No. Files are transferred exactly as Google stored them — no re-encoding, downscaling, or metadata stripping.
That's the case PhotoBridge is built for. It handles split, multi-gigabyte Takeout archives automatically, and resumes if anything is interrupted.
PhotoBridge uses Microsoft's official OAuth and only requests access to write to the folder you pick. It never reads your existing files and you can disconnect anytime.
There's a free tier so you can try it on part of your library. A one-time Migration Pass covers a full migration — no subscription.
Moving somewhere else? PhotoBridge also moves Google Photos to Dropbox, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, and Wasabi.
