-Recently I play free weekend on Uplay
-Downloaded installed and played
-decide to buy The Division on "STEAM" and my account is linked
-currently downloading from steam but take forever

I did try to copy the whole files from Uplay then hit install on steam it's show "discovering files..."
for a while and start download again but still I have to download almost 37GB

Make sure that it's not just the PTS that's downloading

FIXED!
Here what I've done
-Copy the whole Tom's Clancy The Division folder from Uplay to steam library
-install from steam (clean install) and let it discover files this could take a while
-after finish navigate to the game in steam folder and delete "uplay_install.manifest" and "uplay_install.state" (thanks to forum member)
-uninstall Uplay (if you have it installed like me)
-re install Uplay and no need to log in
-hit play from steam and boom it's working now

I hope this help to whoever run into same problem

This has a lot of time, but still works. I only did this

"uplay_install.manifest" and "uplay_install.state" deleted those 2 files and the game started right without losing my all progress with my old character without uninstalling uplay (since i have more games intsalled too).

I had the base game , but i just bought the gold edition on steam, i didnt want to download twice the game (it was doing this), so yeah, only delete those 2 files.
