it was painful to migrate from dropbox. their api is shit and does nothing to guarantee delivery. i had to split folders into 5gb chunks and download everything in zip files through the browser. it took a year. what an awful company.
Why not use something like rclone to download your stuff?
I tried several third-party tools and all of them had the same problems with the API
I’ll never work with them again and actively. Advocate against them.
