    You'll need to download them to a device first before re-uploading to Dropbox I'm afraid.

    I'm not aware of any transfer tools which will do it for you

When you say to download the Google photos to your computer, what does that mean?  Do I have to go into each photo in Google Photos and download it individually to my desktop?  And then move all of them to Dropbox?  Isn't there a way to mass copy the files so I can grab them and move copies to Dropbox?

As for mass downloading you need to ask Google I'm afraid, but yes, ultimately you need to download from Google to them reupload to Dropbox.
