Data Migration from Dropbox to Google Drive

How can I move my files from Dropbox to Google Drive for free?

  • Hi,

     

    The one case you can move your files from Dropbox to Google Drive  is by physical method of Downloading & Uploading the files. But this method works better if you have a very less amount of data to transfer. And if you have some large TBs of data to transfer then this method may not be much convenient to you, in this case I suggest you to use some third-party migration tools to make your requirement done with ease.

    I'm not aware of any tools which allow you to do this. The ones that were about have closed or been bought out. 

     

    As you are trying to use Google you'd be better off asking on their forums.

      How do I give myself access to all the shares? It looks like the Admin Console only allows an admin to share content to themself one share at a time.

        Hi tupham, welcome to our Community! 

         

        At the moment, you wouldn't be able to mass-share content all at once, I'm afraid. I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

         

        I hope this clarifies!

      Dropbox doesn't have a migration utility. You'll either need to download your files from Dropbox and upload them to Drive, or use a third-party service such as MultCloud to do the move for you.
