Thank you for reaching out again. I've been distracted with a major project. I am still hesitant to disable antiviral and have decided to move files to Google Drive instead.

7 months agoHey nmmorris! What we can recommend, in this case, is to download your files from Dropbox to your local device and upload them to your Google Drive account next.
However, it may be worth checking this with Google Drive as well, as they may offer a way to import your files directly from Dropbox to their servers. Other than that, there may be third-party services that allow that, too (we don’t offer support for any of them, though).
