Migrate Dropbox to Microsoft 365 with Migration Manager

Collaborate all in one place by migrating your Dropbox documents, data, and users to OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams in Microsoft 365.

How does it work?

• Step 1: Connect to Dropbox. Sign in to your Dropbox administrator account to connect to your Microsoft 365 migration.
• Step 2: Scan and assess Dropbox accounts are scanned automatically for you. Once the scans are complete, download the generated reports and logs to investigate any possible issues that might block your migration.
• Step 3: Copy to Migrations list After Dropbox has been scanned and determined ready, add them to your migration list.
• Step 4: Review destination paths We automatically map source paths to any exactly matching destination paths. Ensure content is being copied to the right place by reviewing and modifying as needed for each destination path.
• Step 5: Map identities Map your groups and users in Dropbox to an account in Microsoft 365 to migrate your Dropbox sharing settings.
• Step 6: Migrate and Monitor After reviewing your migration setup, migrate your Dropbox accounts and monitor the progress

Get started

To get started:

Navigate to Microsoft 365 Admin Center Home - Setup - Migration and imports, select Dropbox to create a migration project. Make sure that you have:

• Access to the destination: You must be one of the following roles in the Microsoft 365 tenant where you want to migrate your content:

  • Global admin
  • OneDrive/SharePoint admin
  • User that is granted with the "Microsoft 365 Migration Administrator" role

  Important

  Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. Using lower permissioned accounts helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.

• Access to the source: Have Dropbox account credentials that have read access to any Dropbox user account you plan to migrate.

• Prerequisites installed: Make sure you have the necessary prerequisites installed.
