How to select a large amout of files at once from Google Drive

Hello, my name is Victor. I am newer in Dropbox.
I need to import a large amount of scattered files and folders from Google Drive to Dropbox, and there is no way to organize them (cause they are a lot) into unique folder. By clicking Ctrl + A on selection window, doesn't work (select only the loaded files from the list). 

 I already tried to let automatically scrolling down and selecting all files until the end. But it crashes whatever computer because the amount of information loaded in the load lazying. Isn't there anyway to workaround that?

  • Hi again, VictorRayan!

     

    For a smoother experience, I would suggest importing your files and folders in batches, if selecting them all results in crash.

     

    Can you try that and see if it works? And you can organize them after they've been imported.

     

    Let me know how it goes.
