Dropbox to Google Photos

WetoDrive does not send to Google Photos. It does copy your Dropbox photos into Google Drive, without downloading them.

The short answer WetoDrive copies files from Dropbox into Google Drive, not into Google Photos. If your photos need to end up in Google Photos itself, use Google Photos' own upload. If keeping them safe in Google's storage is the goal, copying the Dropbox folder to Drive does that without downloading anything.

Google Photos and Google Drive are different places

Photos you add to Google Drive are stored as ordinary files in folders. Google Photos is a separate library with its own upload. WetoDrive writes to Drive, so it cannot place photos straight into the Photos library.

What WetoDrive does for photos

Pick a folder in your Dropbox and it is copied into your Google Drive with its subfolders, originals at full size. Large albums are fine, because the copy happens on our servers and not over your connection.

Do photos in Google Drive show up in Google Photos?

No. Google stopped linking the two in July 2019, so a photo that lands in Drive stays in Drive until you add it to Photos yourself. Deleting it in one does not delete it in the other.

How to move photos from Google Drive to Google Photos

Once the Dropbox photos are in Drive, open photos.google.com on a computer and click Upload at the top right. Choose Google Drive, open My Drive, tick the photos and press Upload. They are then in your Photos library.

This makes a second copy in Photos, and originals count toward your Google storage in both places. Photos you do not need in Drive any more can be deleted from Drive afterwards.
