# How do I move everything from Dropbox to Google Drive?

Connect both accounts in **Cloud Accounts**, then create a transfer with Dropbox as the source and a folder in Google Drive as the destination. Choose **copy** first, so Dropbox keeps everything until you've checked the result.

1. Add your Dropbox and Google Drive accounts.
2. In **New Transfer**, pick the Dropbox folder (or the whole account) as the source and a new Google Drive folder as the destination.
3. Choose **copy** and start it. Large accounts take a while, because Google limits upload speed; it keeps going in the background.
4. Spot-check the files in Google Drive.
5. Only then delete from Dropbox, or cancel your Dropbox plan.

The same approach works between any two account types.
