That would presumably be a question for BigQuery. QVD files are just files. You can use Automation, Replicate, or presumably the REST connector to run this job. If BigQuery doesn't natively read QVDs, it should be fairly easy to either convert the QVD on the fly or just have Qlik save a CSV.
you can also choose Parquet option. Not sure, But I read somewhere Parquet file also claim same level of compression of data as QVD does.

@PrashantSangle Yup, but the question did specify QVD. Ultimately, the file type shouldn't matter as I imagine BigQuery can ingest pretty much anything.
I’m currently in discussions with Google, and I want to prepare myself by understanding how to move the data. My QVD files are already ready to use and well organized, not like the many tables in my database.
My goal is to shift the QVD data to BigQuery in an easy and automated way, with a process that loads the data daily.
QVD is a proprietary file format optimized for Qlik products. So AFAIK & what I understood from BigQuery blog that you can not load QVD directly into BigQuery

Shouldn't be too bad. You can either replace the file types, or use a relatively simple Python script to convert the files for ingestion, if BigQuery can't support QVD (which, as mentioned, is a question for Google).
