User Case: Google Takeout to Dropbox Not Working

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:

• Network problems: The upload speed of the Internet is limited, so when uploading data, the transmission may be slow or even interrupted due to network reasons.
• Compression and decompression: When archiving data, Google Takeout spends time compressing the data that needs to be transferred; then, when uploading to the corresponding location, such as Dropbox, users spend a lot of time decompressing this data.
• Permission issue: When some users need to perform Google Drive Shared With Me sync to other cloud drives, since the shared content has different permissions, there is likely no permission during the transfer, which will cause the task to be interrupted.

Common Solution for "Google Takeout to Dropbox Not Working"

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.

Step 4. Go to the Dropbox website and log into your account with your email and password.

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.
