transfer folders directly from Dropbox to Google Drive?
I need to transfer entire folders from Dropbox to Google Drive. Is there a way to do it directly from one platform to the other? I've been downloading folders to my hard drive then uploading to Google Drive, but it sure is laborious and time consuming. I don't have enough free space on my hard drive, so I have to download a bit at a time, upload them to Google Drive, delete from my hard drive and start the process all over again. It will take days to do it this way. I'm hoping someone knows some magic to move directly from one platform to another. Thank you!

Hi USASF, thanks for messaging the Community.
While there isn't a direct method to do so, some third party apps or services might be able to assist you on this matter.
I'll leave this thread open for other users to comment their suggestions.

Hi from me too, USASF!
Unfortunately, we can’t suggest any specific apps for this, as they’re not supported by Dropbox.
However, if you search for a way to transfer your files/folders from Dropbox to Google Drive via your web browser, you should receive some recommendations.
