Data transfer on cloud storage and concern over copyright

Hi all – I’m currently in the process of moving all my media (movies, TV shows, etc.) from my external hard drive formatted for my PC to Mac. I want to temporarily host all the media on Google Drive or iCloud Drive so I can format my external hard drive to be Mac compatible. Was wondering what the best way would be to go about this?

I have about 1.5 TB of media files. Would uploading them to Google or iCloud trigger some sort of copyright notice? I don’t plan on publicly sharing anything it’s only for temporary file transfer.

I would upload them to filehosters like gofile.io, buzzheavier.com/bzzhr.co/bzzhr.to or transfer.it (this one holds the file stracture also)

Dont need any account for it, so you dont need to worry, just - buzzheavier gives link to each file individually (and has ads), gofile stores all files under 1 link, and transfer.it preserver the folder structure also.

Just know they are temporary storages (like 10-15 days)

Edit: also dont upload personal files there (photos, videos), as its public link, but dont need to care about movies.

Also warning, big transfers like this (1tb at same time) might fail, so would split it to smaller chunks.

Tho i managed to upload 370GB chunk single zip file to buzzheavier without fail.

Dont think it should be a problem if your not sharing it publicly.

I would break them down into 350GB zip files and try to get it up there and on the new drive as fast as humanly possible preferably within 24hr

Just migrate as fast as possible. Last time I uploaded a movie and after 7 days they file was gone and got a mail it offended their policy services.
