Hope someone can help me here.

 

Thanks, Arish

    Hi Everybody,

     

    I have spoken with the appropriate teams about expanding this feature outside of personal accounts. They are currently investigating. I will post here when I know more!

     

    Regards,

    Ben

    Wooooohhhh, this is bad.. REALLY BAD.

    Your sales team just sold me Dropbox Teams so I can migrate over from Google Drive. I'm trying to migrate a lot of data and without this feature... It aint gonna work.

     

    Surely there is a solution to this? Third party tools are slow (Literally 4 years to do it) or expensive ($350/TB to transfer).

    Help!

    Facing same issue with similar catalogue size. Only solution I’ve come across is to connect your google drive to a large enough external drive or raid and choose to have your files synced locally in Google drive settings. Then take those files for upload to Dropbox.

    You would either need to download your files from Google and upload them to Dropbox, or use a third-party transfer service such as MultCloud.
