Dropbox Migration Tool

MigrationFox supports full Dropbox Business and Personal migrations. Move files, folder structures, and sharing permissions to SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, or any other supported platform. Chunked upload technology ensures reliable transfer of files of any size.

Chunked Uploads

Dropbox uses upload sessions for files over 150 MB, breaking them into smaller chunks that are uploaded sequentially and committed as a single file. MigrationFox handles this automatically — you don't need to worry about file size limits. If a chunk fails mid-transfer, only that chunk is retried, not the entire file.

This approach keeps memory usage low and transfers reliable, even for multi-gigabyte files over unreliable connections.

Permission Migration

Dropbox sharing permissions are mapped to the equivalent roles on the destination platform:

• Viewer → Read-only access
• Editor → Read-write / Contribute access
• Owner → Full control (where supported)

Shared folder memberships are resolved by matching email addresses. Team folders retain their collaboration structure when migrated to platforms like SharePoint or Google Drive.

Folder Structure Preservation

MigrationFox preserves the complete Dropbox folder hierarchy during migration. Namespace roots, team folders, and nested subfolders are all recreated at the destination. File and folder names are sanitized when the destination platform has stricter naming rules (for example, SharePoint's restrictions on # and % characters).

Supported Migration Paths

Dropbox to SharePoint

Migrate Dropbox Business team folders to SharePoint document libraries. Permission mapping and path sanitization are handled automatically.

Dropbox to OneDrive

Move individual user content from Dropbox to OneDrive for Business as part of a platform consolidation.

Dropbox to Google Drive

Transfer files and folders to Google Drive or Shared Drives with folder structure and sharing settings preserved.

Key Features

• Parallel scan — concurrent folder traversal discovers thousands of files in minutes
• Auto-split — large jobs (1,000+ files) split into 3 parallel partitions for faster transfer
• Delta sync — re-run completed jobs to transfer only files modified since the last migration
• Checksum verification — content hash validation ensures file integrity
• CSV and HTML reports — detailed post-migration reports for audit and review

Pricing

Dropbox migrations are billed at $0.50 per GB transferred. Your account starts with 2 GB free — no credit card required. Discovery scans are always free and unlimited.
