Data Migration from Sharepoint/OneDrive to Dropbox - Help
Hello I am new to Dropbox and I am currently setting up Dropbox (former Sharepoint/OneDrive user). I can't find a lot of information on how to migrate from Sharepoint/OneDrive to Dropbox almost all t...
Methods for This Migration:
- Manual Download and Upload:
- This is the simplest method but time-consuming for 1.5 TB. Download everything from Sharepoint/OneDrive and upload it to Dropbox. This will take too much time but ensure you have enough storage in Dropbox.
- Third-party Migration Tools:
- Tools like MultiCloud and Gs Richcopy360 might be helpful. However, due to the data volume, research their capabilities thoroughly.
- Look for reviews online by searching "[Tool Name] + Reviews".
- Here are some tips for choosing a tool:
- Look for tools that support migration from Sharepoint/OneDrive specifically.
- Ensure the tool can handle large data volumes efficiently.
- Check for features like selective migration (choose what to move) and delta sync (only move changes after initial transfer).
Best Practices:
- Prepare Dropbox: Upgrade your Dropbox storage plan to accommodate 1.5 TB.
- Organize Data: Before migration, organize your Sharepoint/OneDrive data for easier transfer and management in Dropbox.
- Test Migration: If using a tool, test it with a small data set first to ensure functionality and data integrity.
- Security: Maintain strong passwords for both Sharepoint/OneDrive and Dropbox.
Thanks
