    @Mahavir Saroj Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

    Migrating data from Google Drive to Azure Blob Storage can be accomplished using various methods.

    #1. Manual Download and Upload:
    You can manually download files from Google Drive to your local machine. Next, upload these files to Azure Blob Storage or Azure File Storage using tools like Azure Storage Explorer or AzCopy. This approach is suitable for small to moderately sized data sets.

    #2. Azure Data Box:
    It is a physical appliance that allows you to transfer large amounts of data to Azure securely and efficiently. You can use it to upload data from your local infrastructure, including data from Google Drive to an Azure Storage Account.

    #3. Google Takeout and Azure Tools:
    Use Google Takeout to export your Google Drive data to a local archive file. Then, utilize Azure tools (such as Azure Storage Explorer or AzCopy) to upload the exported data to Azure Blob Storage.

    #4. Third-Party Migration Tools:
    Explore third-party solutions specifically designed for data migration between cloud storage services. These tools often provide more automation and flexibility for large-scale data transfers. Examples include CloudMigrator, Mover.io, and others.

    And from the past accepted answer, I totally recommend using Third-Party Migration Tools, it is the easy and secure way to quickly data migration from Google Drive data to an Azure Blob storage account, and besides CloudMigrator, Mover.io, you can also take a look at CloudFuze and Gs Richcopy360, both are reliable and robust in clouds data migration.
