How to migrate Dropbox account (or a team folder) to Microsoft 365 Sharepoint library (single user)

To migrate a Dropbox account or Dropbox team folder to Microsoft 365 Sharepoint document library, you need to create a one-way sync pair like this:

Dropbox (bob@acme.com)   ->  Microsoft 365 Sharepoint (admin@acme.com)/Site/Document Library/Dropbox_user

or like this:

Dropbox (bob@acme.com)/Team Folders/Folder for HR   ->  Microsoft 365 Sharepoint (bob@acme.com)/HR Site/Document Library

The above will do a one-way sync of the Dropbox account to the specified Microsoft 365 Sharepoint Document Library. The data will be migrated but also kept in sync allowing you a seamless transition.

cloudHQ will also replicate all sharing information and permissions from Dropbox to Microsoft 365 Sharepoint only and only if:

  1. cloudHQ is installed on Dropbox Business domain
  2. cloudHQ is installed on your Microsoft 365 domain
