User Case

Since you need to move a large quantity of files from Dropbox to Google Shared Drive (attached with Google Workspace), it will be time-consuming if you use the traditional way to download files from Dropbox and then upload them to Google Shared Drive. In this post, you will learn a way that supports automatic cloud-to-cloud file transfer and this way uses data traffic which is fast and supports offline transfer.

Why Migrate Dropbox to Google Workspace?

Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) has become one of the world's best cloud office suites, going head-to-head with Microsoft 365, Box, Dropbox for business, and more. By rebranding G Suite as Google Workspace, Google puts many more wonderful features such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Docs, etc. to make this online collaboration suite attractive.

Compared with Google Workspace, Dropbox seems to be less powerful when it comes to enterprise collaboration. Because if you want to achieve the same online editing and sharing features with Dropbox, you may have to use other brands of office applications that can connect to Dropbox well.

So, if you want to enjoy Google Workspace or your company needs to work together with Google office suites like video conference, live chat, multi-channel communication, team calendars, or template management, you’d better learn about cloud to cloud migration to migrate Dropbox to Google Workspace fast without concern.

But, what's the best Dropbox to Google Workspace tool? The cloud-to-cloud file transfer tool called MultCloud is worth trying. It stands out among all cloud transfer services relying on the following merits:

✌Not Limit on the Number of Clouds You Add: MultCloud already supports 30+ Clouds like Google Drive, Google Workspace, Google Photos, SharePoint Online, Dropbox, Dropbox Business, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos, Icedrive, iDrive, 4shared, Amazon S3, etc. You can add and manage all clouds (accounts) MultCloud supported for completely free.

☹Long Transfer Process: Usually takes a lot of time if you have a lot of data to transfer and the internect connection is not stable.

☹Storage Requirement: Requires additional storage space on your computer. This can be a problem if you don't have enough space on your device.
