Migration
Dropbox to Microsoft 365
Move every team member's Dropbox files into their own OneDrive, with folders and file names exactly as they were, and be told plainly about anything that needs a decision first.
The situation
The team is standardising on Microsoft 365 and paying for two places to keep files. Years of client folders live in Dropbox, and nobody wants to hear a month later that something did not arrive.
Who it is for
Firms and teams on Dropbox Business who are moving to Microsoft 365 and want their files to come with them.
What people worry about
The worry is shared folders. A team folder belongs to the business, not to any one person, so we never quietly copy one into somebody's personal drive, where it would leave with them the day they do. Team folders are listed in the report and planned with you.
What you get
Included in the engagement
- Every team member's files moved into their own OneDrive
- Folder structure and file names carried across exactly, including non-English names
- Large files included, and empty ones too
- Microsoft 365 accounts created and licensed for people who do not have one yet
- Dropbox Paper documents converted, and labelled as converted
- Team folders identified and reported, never dropped into one person's drive
What it means
How it runs
What happens, in order
-
01
Connect
A Dropbox admin connects your team in a few minutes. We can read files but cannot change or delete anything in Dropbox.
-
02
Review
You see who and what is there, and decide who gets a Microsoft 365 account and licence.
-
03
Copy
Files are copied into each person's OneDrive in the background.
-
04
Check
Every file is confirmed on the Microsoft side, and the report lists anything that needs attention, team folders included.
-
05
Retire
When you are happy, Dropbox can be switched off.
- Needs a Dropbox Business team plan. Individual and family plans cannot be read across a whole team.
- Team folders are reported and planned with you separately, as shared space rather than personal files.
