Moving Photos and Videos from Google Drive to Dropbox

I am having the toughest time figuring out the easiest ways, without buying a third party app, to move files from Google Drive to Dropbox. Maybe this is really simple, and forgive me for likely missing the obvious, but the Google Drive part to me is confusing. However, can anyone give me some simple tips. Or, if I have to use a 3rd party app to move these files, where is a good site where I can review my options?  Thank you, ANYONE who can help.

    Hey SeekingAnswers, thanks for reaching out to our Community!

     

    I don't think there's a way (at least not a Dropbox way), to move files directly from Google Drive to Dropbox.

     

    If there's a way to export them from Google Drive, or download them from Google Drive to your computer, then adding them to Dropbox, would be an easy task.

     

    But for exporting directly to Dropbox, you'd probably need to use a third party app. 

     

    Sorry I couldn't help more here, but I will leave this open, in case other users have any tips for you.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.
