Dropbox to Google Drive Migration

Move your team off Dropbox and onto Google Drive, files, folder structure, sharing and version history intact. One workspace for storage, real-time co-editing and AI, with zero data loss.

Dropbox to Google Drive migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate from Dropbox to Google Drive. Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, moves your Dropbox files, folders, shared-folder permissions and version history into Google Drive (My Drive and shared drives) with a phased, zero-data-loss cutover, so your team keeps its content and access while consolidating storage into Google Workspace, where files become real-time co-editable in Docs, Sheets and Slides.

Why migrate

Why teams move from Dropbox to Google Drive

No separate storage bill

If you already pay for Google Workspace, Drive storage is included in the plan, so moving off Dropbox removes a whole standalone subscription.

Real-time co-editing

Files in Drive open straight into Docs, Sheets and Slides for simultaneous editing, no download, no version conflicts, no "final_v3" copies.

Gemini-powered search

Find files, summarize documents and ask questions across your Drive content with AI built into Workspace.

Generous pooled storage

Workspace pools storage across the org under one governance model instead of per-seat Dropbox quotas.

One admin, one identity

Storage, mail, calendar and collaboration under a single admin console, identity provider and DLP/retention policy.

What we migrate

What we migrate from Dropbox

Dropbox object Migrates to Google Drive Notes
Files (all types) Files in Drive Native types map to Docs/Sheets/Slides on request; counts & sizes reconciled
Folders & structure My Drive / shared-drive folders Full hierarchy preserved
Shared folders & permissions Drive sharing / shared drives Member access mapped to viewer/commenter/editor
Version history Drive version history Where exposed by source plan/API; current versions always move
Shared links Drive links (re-issued) Old links can be 301-style redirected where feasible
Users & ownership Google users Mapped to your IdP / SSO; ownership preserved

Version-history depth depends on your Dropbox plan's export and API access, confirmed during assessment.

FAQs

Dropbox to Google Drive migration FAQ

Can you migrate Dropbox without losing data?

Yes, files, folder structure, shared-folder permissions and available version history move into Google Drive, with reconciliation checks confirming counts and sizes match the source.

Do shared folders and permissions transfer?

Yes. Dropbox shared folders and member access map to Drive sharing and shared drives so collaborators keep the right access after cutover.

Will there be downtime?

No hard downtime. We run a phased cutover with a pilot first; Dropbox stays available until each team is validated on Drive.

How long does it take?

Days for a small team; one to four weeks for larger organisations, driven by data volume and shared-folder count.

Pricing is scoped to user count, data volume and sharing complexity. Start with a free assessment for a fixed quote.
