🔄 Switching from Google Drive, Dropbox & Co.
A fully automatic transfer from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive directly to us is unfortunately not possible – these providers do not allow direct server-to-server access for other cloud services.
However, the easiest way works via the desktop client – and you don’t need to manually download anything.
- Install the desktop client of your current provider (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox)
- Install the Nextcloud Desktop Client
- When setting up the Nextcloud client, select “My Files” as the target folder
- Move your files from the old cloud folder into the Nextcloud folder
- The transfer runs automatically – your PC acts as a “bridge”
- A Windows or Mac PC that stays on during the transfer
- A stable internet connection (100 GB takes approx. 1–4 hours depending on speed)
- The Nextcloud Desktop Client (free, available on the Nextcloud website)
We’re happy to assist – just let us know how much data you have and which provider you’re switching from.
