Google Drive to Dropbox, without downloading a thing

Pick files and folders in your Google Drive and WetoDrive copies them into your Dropbox. No waiting on a download, no uploading it all again.

Step 1: connect Google Drive

This is where your files come from. You choose which ones in Google's own window, and WetoDrive can only read what you choose.

Transfer files from Google Drive to Dropbox

Want a Google Drive to Dropbox transfer without saving everything to your computer first? Choose the files and folders in Google's own picker and WetoDrive copies them to your Dropbox on its own servers, keeping the folder structure you ticked. Nothing passes through your laptop or your home connection.

It is a copy, so your Google Drive is only read and nothing is removed from it. For the details, including Google Docs and whole folders, read how to move files from Google Drive to Dropbox.

Google Drive to Dropbox: the questions people ask first

How do I move files from Google Drive to Dropbox?

Connect both accounts, press Choose files and folders, pick them in Google's own picker and press Transfer. They are copied from your Drive to your Dropbox on our servers, so nothing is downloaded to your computer first.

Why do I have to pick files in a Google window?

WetoDrive asks Google for the narrowest permission it offers, which only covers files you hand over yourself. Picking them in Google's own window is how you do that, and it means WetoDrive can never browse the rest of your Drive.

Can I move a whole folder?

Yes, with one extra step. Tick the folder, then press Add more, open the folder in the picker and select the files inside it (Ctrl or Cmd + A selects them all). Google only shares what you tick, so the files have to be ticked as well as the folder. The folder is then rebuilt in your Dropbox with its name. Do the same for each subfolder to keep the whole structure.

What about Google Docs, Sheets and Slides?

They are not files in the usual sense, so they are skipped for now. Everything else (PDFs, photos, video, Office files, zips) is copied as it is.

Does it delete anything from my Google Drive?

No. It is a copy. Your Drive is only read, never changed.

Can I close the tab while it runs?

Yes. The transfer keeps running on our servers and we email you when the files are in your Dropbox.

Do you keep a copy of my files?

No. Files stream from Google Drive to Dropbox in pieces without being stored on our servers.

What if my Dropbox is full?

Your free Dropbox space is checked before anything is fetched, and you are told straight away how much room the transfer needs. Free Dropbox Basic accounts come with 2 GB.
