How to Migrate Box Notes to Google Drive

Box Notes, natively integrated with Box, is an easy-to-use document creation tool. Without leaving Box, Box Notes allows you to quickly take notes, communicate in real-time with your team, and share ideas.

As a Box user, you would have created Box Notes to save business information and shared various Box Notes to collaborate with your team members. Is your business planning to move from Box to Google Drive? Then migrating Box Notes is equally important as migrating other Box files, such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
