Does anyone know a converter, preferably a cloud one to convert rfa to rvt files so that they can be uploaded into sketchup?

The “converter” would have to be Revit, as any “automatic” way would not know what values the family’s parameters should be set to.  
RFA is not a model file. The nearest equivalent in SketchUp terms would be Live Component.

Thank you, I was afraid that that would be the answer.
