Summary:
How to save to Google Drive directly? In this article, you'll learn 2 free ways to download
to Google Drive directly with a free web-based cloud transfer manager, MultCloud.
Usually, online cloud drive storage users have to first download web page files to local storage,
then upload these files to their cloud drives. Besides, if they want to move files between cloud
services, they have to take local drive as transit, download the files from one cloud storage to
computer first and then upload them to another cloud.

so?

Just as said above, a lot of cloud storage users wonder whether they can download files directly
to Google Drive or not. Here, I would like to tell them the answer is “Yes”. It is possible to
download directly to cloud drive storages. However, they have to make use of a third party
software to complete the task. That is to say, Google Drive itself can’t download files directly to
itself from websites or other clouds.
This application is called MultCloud. It is a FREE web-based cloud transfer service which can not
only help achieve remote upload to cloud from URL, but also can transfer files between cloud
storage accounts without downloading and uploading. Below, you'll see what MultCloud can do
for you.
Here in the following part, you'll learn how to download to Google Drive from URL with
MultCloud.
To download files to google drive directly with the help of MultCloud, you have to first of all get
access to this app. Unlike some other applications, you need to download and install it on your
local machine to use, you just need to go to its official website https://www.multcloud.com to
register as a member of its users.

URL Tasks
Tips:
If the task fails, you can see it only in URL Tasks window. You can “Retry” the task or
“Delete” this task and recreate a new task to download directly to Google Drive.
If the file is large in size, you can’t see it in Google Drive list immediately. In such situation,
you can view its progress in URL Tasks interface. When it finally complete, you will find the
file downloaded to your Google Drive.
If you are not sure about the result of the operation, you can go to your Google Drive
either in webpage or in APP to see whether the target file is there or not.
