Move Google Drive to Box
Copy the files and folders you choose from Google Drive into Box, cloud to cloud, with nothing downloaded to your device. Everything lands in a dated CloudRaft folder in Box, and your Google Drive stays untouched.
How it works
- Sign in to CloudRaft and connect your Google Drive account on its own login screen.
- Pick the files or folders you want to copy from Google Drive.
- Connect Box as the destination.
- We measure everything first and show you the plan — file count, size, and anything we have to set aside — before a single byte copies.
- Press Start. The copy runs on our servers, so you can close the tab; your Google Drive originals are never touched.
Your originals are never touched
CloudRaft is copy-only. It reads the files you pick from Google Drive and writes copies into Box— it never deletes, moves, renames, or changes anything in your source. We don't store your file contents; they stream between the two clouds through our worker and are never written to our disks.
What to know for this move
- Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides aren't regular files — they live inside Google's system and can't be copied byte-for-byte. Export them to PDF or Office formats from Drive first if you want them in Box.
- Box enforces a per-file upload limit that depends on your plan (about 250 MB on the free Individual plan, much higher on Business). A file bigger than your Box limit is set aside up front, never half-uploaded.
- We create a fresh CloudRaft folder in Box for each migration and write only there — your existing Box files are never modified.
Questions
Do I have to download my files to move them from Google Drive to Box?
No. CloudRaft copies directly between Google Drive and Box on its own servers — nothing is downloaded to your computer and you don't need to keep a device running.
Will CloudRaft delete or change my Google Drive files?
Never. CloudRaft is copy-only: it reads the files you choose and writes copies to Box. It cannot delete, move, or modify anything in Google Drive — that's enforced in code, not just policy.
What does it cost?
You can copy up to 10 GB free, no card. Beyond that you buy a one-time pass — a fixed amount of data for a one-time price, no subscription.
How long does it take?
As fast as both providers allow — we don't throttle. Small files move quickly; very large files take longer. It runs in the background, so you don't have to watch it.
Did everything copy correctly?
We verify every file landed at the destination before counting it done — by size, and by checksum where the provider supports one. The count you see is the verified count, not just attempted.
Can I move my Google Drive files to a Box Business account?
Yes. CloudRaft copies the files you pick from Google Drive into Box — personal or Business — into a dedicated CloudRaft folder, so your existing Box content is never altered.
Do my Google Docs come across as editable files?
Not as native Google Docs — those only exist inside Google. Export them to Word or PDF from Drive first, then copy; CloudRaft moves regular files byte-for-byte and verifies each one.
