"I'm trying to move files from my company's Google Drive to Dropbox using Google Takeout. However, I'm experiencing an abrupt abort of the copy process for all Google Doc files (.gsheet or .gdoc), and no feedback of any files causing the problem. Has anyone also encountered this problem? Is there any trick I can use?"
"It took me over a month to export data from my Google Drive to Dropbox. This cannot be caused by my computer, which is an i7 CPU with 16 GB RAM and plenty of drive space. This should be a problem with the internal transmission mechanism of Google Takeout. Does anyone know a solution? "
The Google Takeout service provided by Google has indeed brought a lot of convenience to many users, such as moving files from one Google Drive to another, transferring data from Google Drive to other cloud drives, etc. But it will be unavailable when using Google Takeout. This is all due to the following reasons:
When Google Takeout doesn't work, you can try the dumbest way---upload & download. In special cases, often the most stupid way is the best solution. When you need to transfer data from Google Drive to Dropbox, you can try to download and upload data manually.
Step 1. Go to the Google Drive website and log in to your old Google Drive account.
Step 2. Create a new folder to store all files in the root of your Google Drive. Gather all files and put them into a new folder.
Step 3. On the Google Drive page, click "My Drive". Then, right-click on the file you need, click the "Download" button and wait for the process to complete.
Note: Google servers will compress all files into one zip file. Before uploading, you need to unzip it.
Step 4. Go to the Dropbox website and log into your account with your email and password.
Step 5. Click "Upload files" or "Upload folder" in the upper right corner, then you can choose to upload a file or folder from your computer.
Note: Each file or folder you choose to upload to Dropbox through the Dropbox website cannot be larger than 50 GB. If you want to add larger files or folders, you can use the desktop or mobile app.
The above methods can also be applied to other data transfers, such as Google Photos to Dropbox, Gmail to Dropbox, or Contacts to Dropbox, etc. But when there is too much data, this method will be very time-consuming.
When there are many files and pictures in Google Drive or Google Photos that need to be transferred to Dropbox, OneDrive or Box, the above shortcomings make it difficult for users to choose Google Takeout. So, in order not to fall into the "Google Takeout Not Working" situation, users can take a look at this tool---MultCloud to completely transfer cloud files and pictures to the destination.
Some advantages of this tool demonstrate why it should be considered:
