Uploading your Spotify local files to Google Drive and other cloud storage services is a great way to access your music collection from anywhere. You can easily upload your local files to Google Drive by selecting the files you want to upload and dragging them into the Google Drive folder.

Google Drive has a file size limit of 750 MB, so make sure your local files are smaller than that to avoid any issues during the upload process. This limit ensures that large files don't take up too much space in your Google Drive account.

The process of uploading local files to Google Drive is relatively straightforward, but it may take some time depending on the size of your files and your internet connection speed. You can also use other cloud storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive, and pCloud to store your local Spotify files.
