Cloud to Cloud Data Transfer

flaneurs_lobster

I've a bit of data (about 20 GB) sat on BT's Cloud, nothing very important just old mobile phone dumps, some movies/music and other odds'n'sods that I'm pretty sure is backed-up or available elsewhere.

BT are turning it off at the end of the month so ideally I would set up a download to my laptop and let it run till it's done and then upload to another cloud (probably OneDrive or Meta). 

But I'm away from home until next month and only have slow wi-fi access via phones and a tablet so I thought a direct transfer service might do the trick.

I have never used one of these and a quick Google shows loads, at least some of which are paid-for services. Does anyone have more knowledge or experience and is able to advise or suggest?

Thanks.

Realistically, 20GB is nothing. These commercial cloud migration services deal in TBs. Buy a data only PAYG SIM with 50GB for a tenner and set it off downloading.

@Vitor thanks for that, good suggestion but I was hoping for free. Also I'm currently remote enough that finding a physical SIM retailer would be a day's journey. Maybe an eSIM would work, anyone have suggestions for something that would suit (location is mainland Greece).

Hi, I have had a short search around but cannot find any transfer methods cloud to cloud that are either free or for non pro use. I will p.m. you one non generic possibility (  one off ) should you fail to get any other help.

One free solution is to give the log in details to a friend, and ask him/her to download the stuff for you. Sorry if I am stating the bleeding obvious!

A less obvious possibility is Google colab. Does anyone know what the bandwidth limits are for data on the free version?  I’m sure you could wget data and store it on a google drive, but whether they will let you do that for 20gb is  the question. What’s your programming like?

Thanks for the suggestions, now sorted by finding a local with Starlink and a 32GB USB drive. Cost - 1 bottle decent red.

Grand. And a nice way to solve it!

Just don't loose or damage the stick. Upload to your new cloud area a.s.a.p. ?

Not sure I can help much, all I saw was a desktop with an Internet connection.
