Show HN: Quickly move data between Google Drive and Dropbox

  Not drag and drop, but free and supports many more storage options. https://rclone.org/ https://rclone.org/ I imagine it wouldn't be all that hard to put a web interface over it.

    Rclone is complex and technical. Also it has other limitations when scaling to handle big data transfers in the TBs. It also can’t do simple things such as convert Google file types or support team migrations... In the end my time is expensive and paying a little bit for these guys to do it is worth it for me. I just moved my team of designers from Google Drive to Dropbox and it was pretty darn simple.

      Different needs, different tools. rclone is an option. I don't find it particularly complex but that depends on the user. If you need document type conversion it doesn't do that. I'm not aware of any limitations regarding big transfers -- I've used rclone to move terrabytes of video files with no problems. It copies incrementally and can retry/restart failed transfers. Google Drive has a daily transfer limit, maybe that's what you mean, but that's not a limitation of rclone.
