How Can I transfer all of my data from my Galaxy S6 to Nexus 6P

I just got my new Nexus 6P and I would like to transfer all of my data from my old Galaxy S6 to the new phone. Is there a free app that does this?

Not sure about the app.
You can always use a PC to back up everything and then transfer to the 6P
Or maybe to drop box if you have an account.
 
What kind of data? Much of it should come in when you sign in to your Google account (Photos, Contacts, Hangouts conversations except for SMS).

SMS can be transferred if you so desire, using SMS Backup and Restore from the Play Store. Ringtones will need to be located and copied onto the phone in the appropriate folder (Ringtones, Notifications, Alarms) so you can then set them using the native settings. I was actually able to locate, Beam and then set the same notification sounds I had on my old device, only needing to use a 3rd-party file explorer app (used ES but have now dumped that for Solid Explorer) so I could move the files to the appropriate folders on the Nexus.
