Once the process is done, you can remove the OneDrive app from your computer if you no longer have a use for it. Now with the OneDrive app set to download your photos and the Google Photos Backup app scanning to upload those very same photos, you can walk away and know that in a matter of hours (or days, depending on your Internet connection and number of photos) your entire photo library will be moved over to Google Photos.
Wait as the uploader takes pictures from OneDrive and uploads them in the background. Choose whether you want "High quality" (free) or "Original" (paid storage) versions to be uploaded. Uncheck any unwanted desktop folders, select "Add." and instead select the OneDrive folders that are syncing. 
Install the Google Photos Backup desktop app, sign in with your Google credentials. If you want to upload any and all photos, you can simply select the highest-level OneDrive folder, but if you'd prefer to only upload some photos you can do that as well.īefore you click "OK" to start the upload, also choose whether you want to upload these OneDrive images as "High quality" (up to 16MP, but with some optimizations) for free or "Original" (no changes made) and counting against your Google Drive storage allotment. Uncheck any unnecessary desktop folders, click "Add." and browse to the OneDrive folder where your pictures are. Once you've installed the Google Photos Backup app, in the initial setup (or after the fact under "Preferences") you can choose which folders it should watch for new photos to upload. Once your OneDrive has started pulling down photos to your computer, you can use the Google Photos Backup app to handle uploading them automatically. As we've covered a few times before, if you're going to be using Google Photos you'll likely want the Google Photos Backup desktop app - and it's particularly useful when getting your library started from scratch.
