Trying to figure out how to use 'Download Your Data' by Google to move files to Dropbox
I have used Google takeout to send files from Google photos to Dropbox. I have email from Google that export is complete and I can now download a copy of files in Dropbox. I have located the takeout files in Apps/ Google Download Your Data. They are all zip files. I am confused - do they need to be donwloaded or are they already saved and I just need to extract the photos? Appreciate any advice

Hey @Elizabeth6939, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community!
You mentioned that you see the takeout files in "Apps>Google Download Your Data"; is that the Apps folder in your Dropbox account?
If that's the case, then the move/export should be complete and all you need to do is extract the files.
Let me know how it goes, or if I misunderstood, please give me some more info, so I can help you further.
Cheers!
Excellent - that what I thought!
