2 months agoHi there, CJG1, thanks for posting your question and welcome to the Dropbox Community.
Do you currently have the backup folder in your local Dropbox folder or are you accessing it from your backups page online?
If you can see it in your Dropbox folder, instead of drag and drop, have you tried to copy or cut and paste it to Google Drive?
If you can only access it online, you'll need to first download it to your computer and then move it to Google Drive from there.
Lastly, you can use these steps if you'd like to disable the feature as well.
I hope this helps and if you have any questions, let me know!
