How to Copy entire Dropbox to Google Drive

I am a rclone newbie trying to copy my entire Dropbox folders, subfolders and files to google Drive, and have the folder names etc re-created in Drive.

rclone v1.68.2

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 22H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19045.5247 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.23.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

-->

Which cloud storage system are you using? Dropbox and Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

///
rclone copy dropbox: drive: -P
///
2024/12/13 15:43:19 CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "dropbox:": didn't find section in config file

///
c:\rclone>rclone config redacted
///
[Drive]
type = drive
scope = drive
token = XXX
team_drive =

[Dropbox]
type = dropbox
token = XXX

Double check the config for sensitive info before posting publicly

Thank you for your help!

dropbox ≠ Dropbox

In addition:

  1. in case you have more data than few MB create Google client_id and Dropbox client_id. Then recreate your remotes configuration providing these parameters.

  2. slow down transfer to avoid throttling by adding --tpslimit 12 --tpslimit-burst 0 to your copy command.

  3. remember that you can only transfer 750GB (double check this value) per 24h to GDrive

Thanks kapitainsky.
