Why Transfer Files from Dropbox to Amazon Drive?

Dropbox, one of the most famous and oldest cloud storage services, offers 2 GB of free storage for users to store, sync, backup, and share data online. Dropbox provides easy-to-use desktop and mobile applications and supports block-syncing between local and cloud.

Amazon Drive (Amazon Cloud Drive), is also a file hosting service that provides 5 GB of free storage for users to store and share files, especially photos in the cloud. But Amazon Cloud Drive may not be good at syncing files since it’s mainly for storing photos and sharing photos online with family and friends.

Acquire More Storage for Free

If you have lots of files that need to be backed up online but the 2 GB of free Dropbox storage can not meet your needs, you can transfer files from Dropbox to Amazon Cloud Drive to gain more free storage from Amazon Cloud.

Keep Data Safer

What’s more, if you want to keep your Dropbox files safe, you can also move files from Dropbox to Amazon Drive and backup files to Amazon Cloud Drive. Because the files stored in Amazon Cloud Drive won’t be synced to local devices so others can not access your files even from your devices. Compared to Dropbox, where the files can be accessed on the local device.

If you want to transfer Dropbox to Amazon Photos or Amazon Cloud Drive, then the instructions below can help you a lot. Besides, if the Amazon S3 service is also applied to you, you can read through the bonus tip below to learn how to copy files from Dropbox to Amazon S3 and other clouds seamlessly with a single click.

Step 2. Select the files and folders that you want to transfer to Amazon Drive.

Step 3. Click the “Download” button and the selected data will be downloaded to the browser folder on your computer.

Step 4. Navigate the downloaded file in the File Explorer/Finder and unzip it into a folder.

Step 5. Log in to the Amazon Drive with your Amazon account.

Step 6. Click the “Upload” button in the upper left corner to upload the unzipped files and folders to Amazon Drive. Or you can just drag and drop files and folders from your computer to Amazon Cloud.
