Trying to figure out how to use 'Download Your Data' by Google to move files to Dropbox

Trying to figure out how to use 'Download Your Data' by Google to move files to Dropbox

I have used Google takeout to send files from Google photos to Dropbox. I have email from Google that export is complete and I can now download a copy of files in Dropbox. I have located the takeout files in Apps/ Google Download Your Data. They are all zip files.  I am confused - do they need to be donwloaded or are they already saved and I just need to extract the photos?   Appreciate any advice

Hey @Elizabeth6939, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community!

 

You mentioned that you see the takeout files in "Apps>Google Download Your Data"; is that the Apps folder in your Dropbox account?

 

If that's the case, then the move/export should be complete and all you need to do is extract the files.

 

Let me know how it goes, or if I misunderstood, please give me some more info, so I can help you further.

 

Cheers!
