      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/182491"&gt;@Robert T.26&lt;/a&gt;, and thanks for posting on our Community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Confusing instructions for Google file migration</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Integrations/Google-Drive-Docs-Sheets-Migration-Would-move-Much-More-Such-As/m-p/689330#M9706</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I received the email "[Action Required] Migrating your Google files" and read the linked Help Center article "How to move Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides". The documentation is extremely confusing, and in one case the documented instructions do not work.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First of all, I do not knowingly have any Google docs in Dropbox. While I do have a Google account (presumably giving access to Google Drive), I have never created Google docs myself; nor have I used Google docs except in instances where other people have shared them with me. I do not understand why I (or anyone) would have Google docs in Dropbox. But even if I do, why should Dropbox care what types of files I have in Dropbox. The user model and the rationale for the forced migration need to be explained much better.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have some Dropbox folders that other Dropbox users have shared with me. They might contain Google docs without my knowing. To find them, I attempted to follow these instructions given in the Help Center article:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="lia-indent-padding-left-30px"&gt;Use &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/search" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Dropbox search&lt;/A&gt; to review your Google files before uploading or converting your documents. To do this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/login" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;U&gt;Sign in&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt; to dropbox.com.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click the search bar at the top of the page.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Search for each individual file type: .&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/search/work?file_categories=document&amp;amp;path=%2F&amp;amp;query=.gdoc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;gdoc&lt;/A&gt;, .&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/search/work?file_categories=spreadsheet&amp;amp;path=%2F&amp;amp;query=.gsheet%20%E2%80%8B" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;gsheet&lt;/A&gt;,&amp;nbsp;and .&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/search/work?file_categories=presentation&amp;amp;path=%2F&amp;amp;query=.gslides" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;gslides&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When I search for .gdoc, it returns thousands of results for .doc, .docx, .txt, and other text file types. Likewise, when I search for .gsheet, it returns .xls, .xlsx, and .csv files. This behavior is very surprising; it certainly is not a useful way to find just the Google doc files.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The instructions are totally wrong and need to be changed to describe a way to find just the Google doc files that will be affected by the migration. The forced migration needs to be better thought out and better documented. For sure, there needs to be a reliable way to determine which files will be affected.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I got now totally messed up with this migration. I foolishly just press the button to connect. Now it is telling me that I need to have a brand new account. I don’t want a new account and it wants me to pay money for it. I want to go back to my old way, and I don’t want to do the migration. How do I undo what I did? Friggin mess.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1711228"&gt;@susiehack&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you’re still seeing the prompt to migrate your Google files, can you send me a screenshot of the option you click on and what you see next, asking you to create a new Dropbox account?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I’m not sure I can find it but I will try. I’ll see if I can find the original request. I’m not sure if I got a prompt right away but all I know is that I received emails welcoming me to my new account. &amp;nbsp;Also, my account was not full before and now it is. I’m going to have to delete some precious files.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Robert, thanks for flagging this,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To the moderators,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/696151"&gt;@Hannah&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to limit the files transferred to google to being just actual google format files?

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/859059"&gt;@KOMA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Great questions. Thanks for your patience while I passed them onto our Google Drive migration experts. I've included the answers below:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is it possible to limit the files transferred to google to being just actual google format files? Eg. when I search for .gdoc the results also include a significant number of large indd files that I don't want to move?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Non-GDD files will not get migrated, even if they show up in the .gdoc search query. INDD files should not get migrated.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;When all our files are replaced by links, will we have to open google drive to create new documents?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;No, the new creation flow&amp;nbsp;on Dropbox for Google files will now create files in google drive instead of on Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;In the future, if I copy a link (within dropbox online/ dropbox for desktop) to a template file, will it create a new file, or will it link to the original template?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Links are very basic; it should just link you to the original template.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Will the links break if a filename gets changed while in the google editor?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Links will not break, but the file name will not sync up with the shortcut name on Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Will the migration recreate our folder structure on google drive or will it be a file dump?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It will be a file dump in a folder called Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ben&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1611513"&gt;@BenDBX&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;very clear answers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Following on from the template question. If we want to use a file as a template, what is the workflow to ensure the copied file shows up on dropbox with its own independent link?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If I make a copy of an existing file from within the google editor, will this automatically create an associated link on dropbox?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If I recreate my folder structure on google drive to organize the files, (at the primary level this is 78 folders), is there a way to ensure that newly created files (via dropbox) will be stored within them?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/859059"&gt;@KOMA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Passing on the answers to your questions below:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Following on from the template question. If we want to use a file as a template, what is the workflow to ensure the copied file shows up on dropbox with its own independent link?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Links are just links. We don't do anything special with template files. A file derivative of the template file will need a separate link.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;If I make a copy of an existing file from within the google editor, will this automatically create an associated link on dropbox?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Nothing special happens. We do not automatically create an associated link.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;If I recreate my folder structure on google drive to organize the files, (at the primary level this is 78 folders), is there a way to ensure that newly created files (via dropbox) will be stored within them?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When creating new files, you can specify the location in GDrive. This will be manual.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>I can’t send you a screenshot, but every other day I keep getting emails from dropbox to complete my account. I have no idea what that’s all about and I am not going to purchase an account. I want to keep my account free. All of his this is way over my head and I have no idea how to do any of this. Can I just please leave things as it is. Having a separate Dropbox account and a google account or do I have to merge them? If so I no idea what to do.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1711228"&gt;@susiehack&lt;/a&gt;, have you tried completing the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/gs" target="_blank"&gt;Get started steps&lt;/A&gt;?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You wouldn't need to upgrade if you don't want to, and we certainly wouldn't make you upgrade. If you could send us any screenshots of the message you get, or the prompt you originally followed, that'd be lovely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>In order for me to send you any screenshots, first, I need to get instructions on how to do this. That’s my problem. I find the instructions difficult to understand. I actually don’t really even know what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1711228"&gt;@susiehack&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify which instructions are confusing you exactly?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also, note that to insert a screenshot in your reply, you can use the camera icon (insert photo option) within your reply's box.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>I don’t understand what they’re talking about with us technology. I have a full Google Drive and I have a pretty full dropbox. So I don’t understand the whole principle behind the migration. So I haven’t done anything. And I don’t see any place here to upload a photo.&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1711228"&gt;@susiehack&lt;/a&gt;, is it possible that the email you're receiving is simply a notice that your Dropbox account is full, instead of asking you to migrate?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can you send us a couple of screenshot of the prompts/emails you're getting so that we can make sure we're on the same page &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1711228"&gt;@susiehack&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here's the icon you need to click in order to attach screenshots in your reply:&lt;/P&gt;
