Azure Logic Apps
Logic App is a cloud-based service. It allows us to react to an event in one service (such as SharePoint online) and do something with the data from that event into another one Service (such as Twitter). It makes it practical and simple for businesses. The users build workflows that automatically do some business tasks and processes across applications and services. We can connect our business-critical apps and services with Azure Logic Apps, automating your workflows without writing a single line of code.

Now, we are connecting the OneDrive and Google Drive for backing up their data.
Why We Connect OneDrive to Google Drive
OneDrive and Google Drive are powerful and convenient Cloud services that are widely used worldwide. They provide a version of desktop and phone for their users so that they can easily access these files whenever and wherever. Many users store their personal files like photos, music, videos, and movies in the cloud.
However, users have to store a part of their files on one Cloud drive due to the storage limitation. The reason to connect OneDrive to Google Drive is to keep our data safe. If you lost files in one Cloud drive, but we have still got copies in other Clouds. As a result, it makes file management easy and effective.
