Available in open beta: Migrate files from Dropbox to Google Drive
What’s changing
Beginning today, the new Data Migration Service can be used to migrate files and folders from Dropbox to Google Drive. This allows organizations to transition easily from Dropbox to Google Workspace, by copying over files, folders and associated permissions securely.
You can start and complete a migration in a few simple steps:
- Connect to your Dropbox business account from which you want to copy data.
- Specify which users or team folders you want to copy from and which user’s MyDrive or Google shared drive should contain the copied data.
- Specify users and groups whose permissions should be copied.
