# How do I move my files from Dropbox or Google Drive into iCloud Drive?

Copy the files into a folder in iCloud Drive and let iCloud upload them, then remove them from the old service once you've checked they're all there. Make sure the old service's files are fully downloaded first, and that you have enough iCloud storage for them.

With Storage Studio, you can use **Data Transfers** to copy from a connected cloud account into a folder you pick on your Mac — including one inside iCloud Drive — without opening each file. See [copying from a cloud account](https://storagestudio.us/faq/data-transfers/).

Don't move the other service's own sync folder into iCloud Drive while its app is running; copy the contents instead — see [using several clouds on one Mac](https://storagestudio.us/faq/icloud/can-i-use-icloud-drive-with-dropbox-or-google-drive).
