Hello, I wonder if I can back up the data from Google Drive to iCloud. I have some very important files that I want to store in different locations to provide dual security. Is there any way that I can achieve my goals quickly? Do I need to backup Google Drive to iCloud? Any suggestion is okay!

First of all, if you want to achieve dual security for important data, I don't think you need to back up Google Drive to iCloud because it doesn't make sense. 

Google Drive and iCloud are essentially cloud storage. They all have a common disadvantage - their security is not high enough, and if your account information is lost, the file will no longer be secure. If you want to establish better protection for your files, I think using a professional tool such as EaseUS Todo Backup for Mac to back up the contents of Google Drive to an external hard drive is the best option.

You can take advantage of the flexibility and compatibility of Google Drive to save your personal files and facilitate remote editing or viewing of files. At the same time, you need to use EaseUS Todo Backup for Mac to create a stable and secure backup of your Google Drive and keep your HDD properly so that your files will hold the highest security level.

Of course, if you insist on thinking back up Google Drive to iCloud, here are simple steps for you to follow as well.

Step 1. Install Google Backup and Sync app on Mac.

Step 2. Then it will sync all your files in Google Drive to Mac.

Step 3. Then hit the Google Drive folder in Finder.

Step 4. Now copy all the files here to the iCloud folder.
