transfer files from BOX.net
Hi I am needing to transfer all my files from my BOX.net account into my Dropbox account. What is the easiest way to migrate all these files?
The issue libbymitchellre is there is no officially supported way to link Box to Dropbox.
You need to download the files from Box to your computer and upload to Dropbox. Or. You need to use a third party tool such as mover.io to do it for you.

Dropbox StaffHey there libbymitchellre - welcome to our forums and happy Monday!
The best way would be to download them or move/copy them into your Dropbox Folder (assuming that you use our desktop application) or upload them to your Dropbox account through the web directly. Only note that uploading files to dropbox.com is limited by three things, including: a. the size of the file(s), b. the number of file(s) and c. the bandwidth of your internet connection.
Now, when it comes to our desktop application, our software is designed to watch your Dropbox folder and sync any files placed in the folder. Your Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your hard drive, but with syncing features.
To take advantage of Dropbox, move or copy files into the Dropbox folder. This will place the files into the Dropbox folder. Once Dropbox sees changes in the Dropbox folder, it automatically syncs the new changes to Dropbox servers and to any other computer linked to your account.
You can also access your Dropbox online at https://www.dropbox.com
I hope this helps to some extent and keep me posted on your progress.
I need specific help. What is the fastest and easiest way to transfer a lot of files at once from Box to dropbox? You directions were too vague
