Keep in mind that the time it takes to create the archive may vary depending on the amount of data you have in Google Photos.

Automatically Move Photos from Google Photos to Box via MultCloud

If you are seeking a direct way to move photos from Google to Box, here it is. You can use MultCloud to create a Cloud Transfer task. Then this task can directly transfer your Google Photos to Box without any manually downloading or uploading.

MultCloud is a cloud management service that centralizes 30+ clouds on one website, including Google Photos and Box. After adding the clouds to MultCloud, you can manage them all together on one app. Cloud Transfer is one of MultCloud’s proud functions. It is used for transferring files from one cloud to another with various transfer settings:

  • Transfer Settings: Include the settings like how to deal with the duplicates, whether to clear the source cloud after the transfer, and others.
  • Email: Get a notice from MultCloud after the task is done.
  • Filter: Select the files that you want to or don’t want to transfer by adding their file extensions.
  • Schedule: Decide when to start the task by setting a fixed time in a day/week/month.

Export Google Photos to Box by Cloud Transfer

Step 1: Get a new MultCloud account if you don’t have one.

Step 2: Add Google Photos and Box to MultCloud. For example, when you add Google Photos, you will first click “Add Cloud” in the left bar and then select the Google Photos icon to log in to your account.

Notes:

  • If you want to adjust the transfer settings or enable the “Filter”, “Schedule”, or “Email” feature, you can check them before tapping “Transfer Now”.
  • Since the photos are always big, you may run out of the 5 GB of free traffic very quickly. In this regard, you can upgrade to a higher plan to get more traffic and transfer with faster speed.

Manually Move Photos from Google Photos to Box via Download & Upload

There is also a traditional way to transfer Google Photos to Box and that is by Google Takeout. Before the steps, please make sure that your computer is connected to a stable network or the transfer speed can be quite slow.

Step 1: Sign in to your Google account and enter Google Takeout.
