How is it possible to make an automatic backup of the content on Google Drive?
You cant do this with Dropbox itself, you'd need a third party program to download all of the data and copy it to Dropbox.

Agree with Mark , this task can be performed via third-party cloud migration tools that offer automated backup functionality between various cloud storage providers, including Dropbox and Google Drive. These tools typically involve setting up a transfer schedule and authentication for both accounts. However, using third-party tools introduces additional considerations like cost and potential security concerns. Take a look at Goodsync , Gs Richcopy360 , SyncbackPro and Multi-Cloud .
What third party platform or software do you suggest to backup all my data from Google Drive to Dropbox ?
Take a look at Gs Richcopy360 and Multi-Cloud , both are the best from I suggested before
Supposedly you can just use Dropbox 'Backup' app and add your account.
This webpage says it can automatically backup Google Drive and One Drive.
I have added my Google account to Dropbox but can't get the backup system to work

That's not what it says at all. It says that if you're currently backing up files to OneDrive or Google Drive, you should disable those backups before trying to back up the same files to Dropbox. It doesn't say you can back up OneDrive or Google Drive, and in fact you should avoid trying to do this. Specifically, it states the following:
While the updated Dropbox Backup can back up files and folders that are also backed up with other providers, like iCloud, Google Drive, and OneDrive, we recommend you disable those backups before using Dropbox Backup to prevent conflicts between backups.
As well as:
Note: If you’re on the legacy version of Dropbox Backup, you must disable your other backups before using Dropbox Backup.
Having two cloud sync programs trying to access the same set of files can (and often does) cause conflicts as the two programs compete for access to the files. If you insist on using Dropbox to back up data from other cloud providers, use a third-party application or service to do it.
