Hope someone can help me here.
Thanks, Arish

Hi arishperez, you should see it on the home page, next to the Organize button. Bear in mind, the option to import from Google Drive is only available for personal accounts, not for Dropbox Business teams.

Hey Arish! I hope you’re doing well and sorry for jumping in.
In that scenario, you can use a third-party app to move these files over to your Dropbox account.
Another option would be to install the Dropbox app on your computer (in case you haven’t already), download your files from Google Drive to your device and then, move them over to your local Dropbox folder.
Since this is a large amount of data we’re talking about though, it will take some time for the updates to sync to your online Dropbox account.

Why only for personal accounts? We pay much more and we should have this function too no?
THird party software are extremely slow.. Multcloud is just impossible to use...
- arishperez3 years agoHelpful | Level 5I think i can agree on this as well.
