How can I migrate files from Box to Dropbox safely and quickly?

If you can tinker a bit, a server‑to‑server transfer using the Box and Dropbox APIs is neat: a small Python/Node script can stream files from Box straight into Dropbox so nothing lands on your laptop, and you can preserve timestamps/metadata if you handle it. For company or large migrations, ask about Box Shuttle or Dropbox’s migration options — those are built for mapping permissions and big inventories. For low‑effort moves, you can use the web: create shared links in Box and use Dropbox’s “Save to Dropbox” (web button/extension) to grab individual files without full downloads. Some people also mount both clouds as drives to drag‑and‑drop, CloudMounter gets mentioned a lot in those conversations, which is handy for quick checks. Whatever you try, do a small test first, verify shared‑folder permissions and version history, and keep a backup of anything critical before moving everything.
