copy from google drive to dropbox using a batch file
Hi all, I should need to copy my google drive into dropbox, and I have to do it via scheduled batch job. Is there a way to write a (hope simple) script? thank you! mike

Dropbox Community ModeratorDropbox does offer the ability to upload files programmatically. You can use /2/files/upload to do so:
Or, for large files, you'll need to use upload sessions:
- https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-start
- https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-append
- https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-finish
Alternatively, if you can get Internet-access URLs for the files, you can use /2/files/save_url instead:
- https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url
- https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url-check_job_status
Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:

Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
Thank you so much Greg
do you think I can find an example (also a simple example) from which I can start?
just something to modify with my need
many thanks again for your help, appreciate

Each endpoint has a curl example in the documentation (in the links in my previous post). I recommend reviewing those and translating them for your platform as necessary.
The API v2 Explorer may also be useful in this regard:

The SDKs each also have some examples included.
