Why Transfer MEGA to Dropbox?
- Gain Better Collaboration
Compared to MEGA, Dropbox assembles both Microsoft Office and Google Docs well. You are allowed to work on a Word or Google Docs file. In this way, you could collaborate on the file with other Dropbox users and save the changes without leaving your Dropbox account. Therefore, it’s better for you to transfer MEGA files to Dropbox to gain better collaboration with your team.
- Manage Files through Clouds
In view of the fact that MEGA offers you 20 GB free storage with great privacy, while Dropbox only provides 2 GB free storage to you but with better team collaboration, you are very likely to store your private files in MEGA and use Dropbox for work. So, there is no doubt that you could manage personal files and work files better through your cloud drives after learning how to transfer files from MEGA to Dropbox.

Apart from the traditional way about how to migrate files from MEGA to another which wastes your valuable time and effort, it would be best if you could try to transfer from MEGA to Dropbox fast and free through a great third-party cloud file manager, MultCloud. MultCloud aims to help you transfer and manage your multiple cloud files with one app.

In other words, you can directly transfer, sync, or back up files from MEGA to other of your clouds in one interface instead of downloading and uploading.

Step 4: Start the Cloud Transfer Task
Click the purple button "Transfer Now" in the lower right corner. Then you could wait for the transfer task to be done in the “Task List”, or just straightly shut down the browser window since the transfer task is run by the background of MultCloud but not your device.

- MultCloud allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly scheduled cloud file transfer by clicking the “Schedule” button.
- As a free user of MultCloud, you have 5 GB traffic per month and 2 threads for data transfer. But as soon as subscribe MultCloud to a higher level, you can get more traffic per month or even unlimited traffic. What’s more, you will get greatly increased transfer speed with 10 threads.
- There are some additional options for you to manage the files associated with the transfer task such as deleting all source files after the transfer is completed or keeping the file modification date.

Transfer MEGA to Dropbox via Traditional Way (Manually Download & Upload)
As you might have guessed, the old way to transfer MEGA files to Dropbox is definitely by downloading and uploading. Firstly, download the target files from the MEGA drive to your computer's local storage, and then re-upload them to Dropbox manually.
Step 1: Sign in MEGA in your browser window.
Step 2: Right-click on the file you want to transfer from MEGA. Then choose “Standard Download” or “Download as ZIP” in the dropdown menu.
Tips: If you want to transfer more files or a whole MEGA account to Dropbox, you’d better create a new folder in MEGA and move all the files to the folder before downloading.
Step 3: Switch to Dropbox and sign in.
Step 4: You could click “Upload” and locate the files or folders in your computer or simply drag and drop files or folders from your computer to the Dropbox interface.
This method is quite easy to understand and operate. However, it accompanies a few shortcomings too. One of the most disturbing is that this method will take a lot of time if the data is enormous, as it happens in most cases.
