Move your files from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive

Not to import your files. Drime has no built-in import from another cloud today, and can't browse or open another cloud's files.

Settings > Connections only lists cloud accounts connected to Drime earlier, so that you can disconnect them. It can't connect a new account or import anything.

Download the folders from your current service to your computer, then upload them to Drime: click Upload, then Upload folder. See Upload files and folders.

Download your files from your current service, install Drime Desktop and put the files in your Drime folder on your computer: Drime Desktop uploads them in the background, and picks up again if the connection drops. See How Drime Desktop sync works.

rclone works with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud and many other services (see rclone's list), and has an official Drime remote. It copies from one cloud to the other without keeping a copy on your computer's disk.

1. Set up a remote for your current service, following rclone's documentation for it, and a Drime remote: see Rclone, Drime CLI and WebDAV.

2. Copy, for example rclone copy gdrive: drime:Folder, where gdrive and drime are the names you gave your two remotes.

The files go through the computer that runs rclone, so keep it on until the copy ends.

From Google Drive, rclone saves Google Docs, Sheets and Slides as Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) and PowerPoint (.pptx) files by default. It also has options for the files shared with you and for shared drives: see rclone's Google Drive documentation.

Use Google Takeout, Google's own export:

1. On takeout.google.com, select Google Photos, choose a .zip archive and the size of each archive, then create the export.

2. Download the archives from the links Google emails you. The links expire after about 7 days, and each archive can be downloaded 5 times.

3. Upload the zip files to Drime and extract them there, or extract them on your computer and upload the folders. See Open and extract ZIP, RAR and 7z archives.

Good to know:

• Your folders are kept. Files extracted in Drime show the date of the extraction as their date. Google says the photo files keep their original date inside their own data.

• Takeout puts extra details, such as photo information and albums, in separate JSON files that Drime doesn't read.

• Drime extracts up to 50,000 files per archive: choose a smaller archive size in Takeout if needed.

• rclone can't help with Google Photos: its Google Photos remote can only download the photos that rclone uploaded itself.

Check how much space your files use on your current service, and compare it with your Drime plan before you start. See Check and free up storage space.
