Migrating from Dropbox to Google Backup and Sync
- Create a folder on Google Drive (web interface) which you would like to have synced with your Dropbox files.
- Download and Install Google Backup and Sync
- Click on the Google Backup and Sync tray icon or quick launch icon (looks like a cloud with an up arrow)
- A setup window will pop up
- Sign in to your MLML Google Account
- In the “My Laptop” section (May say “My Desktop” if you have a Desktop or “My Macbook”, etc.), uncheck all boxes.
-
In the Google Drive section, check the folder in your Google Drive you created earlier for your Dropbox files. It will also sync everything not in a folder (In your Google Drive base folder).
- If you would like to sync your entire Google Drive, check "Sync My Drive to this computer" at the top.
- Move your Dropbox files into the folder with the name that you created earlier, within the Google Drive folder on your computer.
- Finish up and let your files sync (this will take awhile)
- You can access these settings later by clicking on the Google Backup And Sync icon, clicking the three vertical dots icon, and clicking preferences
