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.

Additional details

• You can migrate data from up to 100 Dropbox users or team folders at a time to MyDrive or Google shared drives respectively.
• You can find comprehensive reporting on migration progress, including site and file counts (migrated/skipped). You can also export migration reports for error investigation and troubleshooting.
• Delta updates are available to migrate newly added or updated files.

Getting started

• Admins: You can find this new solution in the Admin console under Menu > Data > Data Import & export > Data Migration (New). Visit the Help Center to learn more about Dropbox to Google Drive migration and new Data Migration Service.
