Changing storage providers

I’m still wondering about question 1 (way to verify all files have been downloaded).

And for question 2, I found a thread here that basically says
(a) create a new folder on your computer and link it to the new storage provider.
(b) copy the files from the old folder on your computer to the new folder on your computer.
(c) delete the files from the old folder on your computer.

Is that the easiest way to do the migration?
