Migrating data from Dropbox to Google Drive looks to be a simple process. But migrating your organization’s users’ files, including permissions, versions, and timestamps, is often challenging, risky, and time-consuming. The challenge comes as both the Dropbox and Google Drive clouds are different in organizing the data. Also, some of the Dropbox-specific features, such as Dropbox paper and permissions, are not compatible enough to migrate.

Migrate Dropbox to Google Drive

Take a few minutes to watch how to transfer files from Dropbox to Google Drive Easily and completely.

Method 1: Traditional File-Transfer Approach (Limited Migration)

The traditional method we all know to migrate files between clouds is to download from one and upload to another. Though this is a proven method, there are more chances to face the risks of data loss while migrating the data if you have many files to transfer. As stated above, Dropbox-specific features can’t be migrated this way.

And you will be annoyed with the unstable network where you must keep on waiting to download and upload the data successfully.
