Part 1: Why transfer Google Photos to Dropbox?
If we are talking about the Google photos and Dropbox feature& they are great in providing the cloud storage service. But some other factors are significant to be considered in terms of the safety and security of your files. So& here I will provide you with valid reasons that will justify why you need to backup your Google photos to dropbox.
- For Best Security:
When transferring your data from one location to the other& your data's main concern is security. Here both Google photos and Dropbox provide you the two-factor authentication level security. Apart from this& both servers encrypt your data during transit& whether you are uploading your data to the cloud server from your device or while downloading it again. The dropbox here uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)& where it uses 256-bit encryption& which is marked as highest by the US National Security Agency. Contrary to this& Google photos only use 128-bit encryption while transferring your data from your device to the server or vice versa.
- For Best Sharing Feature:
Both Dropbox and Google Drive provide you the feature where you can easily share your photos by selecting every single file or directly uploading the images folder. But dropbox wins over here by providing an advanced feature of shared data security& which a Google photo doesn’t have. In the dropbox cloud storage server& you have the power of setting a password on your shared files& which ensures only you and people with whom you have shared this password can access those files. If you have shared your dropbox images link with some other user& then here you have the power to set the expiry date for that link by which it will eventually expire after the passing of that date.
- For Effective Synchronizing:
When you upload your files on Google photos& it proceeds with the entire document to synchronize it& which usually takes a lot of time. But this is completely the opposite in the case of uploading your files on dropbox& where it converts your complete file into blocks& which makes the uploading process speedy and effective. Further& if you lose your internet connection by chance& then unlike Google photos& it simply stops the uploading process& which could be started again from the same level when you get your connection back.
