Short answer: Yes – export your current data room, Dropbox or Google Drive folder as a ZIP (or pick a local folder) and click “Import data room” in HelpRange: folders, names and order are kept, re-imports add versions instead of copies, guests get no e-mails. Up to 2,000 files per import, on every plan with data rooms.
Every data room, Dropbox and Google Drive can export a folder as a ZIP. Upload that ZIP – or drop a folder from your computer – and HelpRange rebuilds the room with your folders, file names and order, ready for guests.
Download the data room from your current provider as a ZIP and upload it. The import runs in the background and you can follow its progress.
Pick files straight from Dropbox, or download a Dropbox or Google Drive folder as a ZIP and upload it.
Drag a folder onto the import window or pick it – every file keeps its place.
Folders become room folders in their original order, so the automatic index numbers follow your export. A nested folder becomes one folder named after its path, such as “Legal › Contracts”.
A file with the same name in the same folder becomes a new version and an identical one is skipped – so importing an updated export again does not create copies.
Guests are not notified about imported files. Invite them when the room is ready.
Imported files are encrypted and prepared for the viewer, with watermarks, page analytics and AI like any other document. System files such as __MACOSX and .DS_Store are left out.
Download it as a ZIP from your provider, Dropbox or Google Drive.
On the data rooms list for a new room, or on the page of an existing room.
Read the report of imported and skipped files, then invite your guests.

Any provider that lets you download a data room or folder as a ZIP – virtual data rooms, Dropbox, Google Drive and other file storage. HelpRange never needs access to your old account.
Data rooms in HelpRange have one level of folders, so a nested path becomes one folder named after the whole path, for example “Legal › Contracts”. Files keep their names and folders keep their order.
No – only files and folders. Set up guests, permissions, the NDA and Q&A in HelpRange after the import.
System and hidden files (__MACOSX, .DS_Store, Thumbs.db), files over the per-file limit and folders more than 10 levels deep. A password-protected ZIP cannot be read – export it without a password. The report after the import lists everything that was skipped.
No. Imported files do not send guest notifications.
