How to Transfer Apple Music to Google Drive [Tutorial]

Part 1. How to Export Apple Music to Google Drive

If you want to back up your Apple Music to Google Drive, it's best to organize your files first. Using the Consolidate Files option collects all your music into one main folder, even copying files that are saved in other places. Uploading this folder in smaller parts is easier than handling many scattered files. This helps you avoid missing anything and keeps your backup neat and simple.

1. Open the Apple Music or iTunes app on your computer.
2. Go to File > Library > Organize Library, then check Consolidate Files to collect all your music into one folder.



3. Find your Apple Music media folder on your computer (usually ~/Music/Music/Media on Mac or C:\Users\[Your Name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media on Windows).
4. Open Google Drive and sign in to your account.
5. Click the New button and select Folder to create a new folder for your backup, or open an existing folder.
6. Click New > File upload or Folder upload, then select your Apple Music folder to upload. You can also drag and drop the folder directly into Google Drive.
7. Wait for the upload to finish.

Part 2. How to Download Apple Music for Google Drive (Using a Converter)

For Google Drive, one personal Gmail account can upload all sorts of files - like music files with 15GB of free space. When it comes to uploading your Apple Music to Google Drive, using a converter like ViWizard Apple Music Converter makes the process much easier and more organized. Whether you want to upload your entire library as one folder or organize it by playlists and albums, ViWizard helps prepare your music files for smooth transfer.

One important thing to remember is that Apple Music tracks are protected by DRM. This means you can't easily move or upload them as regular music files outside the Apple ecosystem. But with ViWizard, this protection is removed and your songs are converted into common formats like MP3, FLAC, or WAV, which Google Drive supports. It also preserves your music's lossless audio and important info like titles, artists, and albums. For your archives, just head over to the Conversion settings to personalize your output.
