How to move files from Google Drive to Dropbox

How to move files from Google Drive to Dropbox

I'm trying to move the files from my company's Google Drive into Dropbox. However I everything a Google Doc file is encountered (.gsheet or .gdoc) the process of copying files is suddenly aborted with not feedback to which file or even folder caused the problem.

Since we have thousands of folders to transfer I'm trying to avoid wasting a weekend weeding out Google Doc files manually.

Has anyone encountered this problem too? Is there any trick, tip I can use?

Thank you!

Edo

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to migrate a bunch of existing Google Docs from my Google Drive folder over to Dropbox. Is there a way to do that so when I open any of these existing Google Docs in Dropbox it's still the same editable file and not a zip folder / turned into a Word document?

 

Thanks!

Hey @Michael50, thanks for posting today! 

Would you mind taking a look at what was previously suggested under this thread, and giving it a go? 

Also, can you clarify more as to the steps you follow in order to save the files to Dropbox? 

Keep me posted.
