Dropbox to Microsoft OneDrive,
without the manual swap.
The most common Dropbox migration. Teams standardizing on Microsoft 365 land their existing Dropbox content in OneDrive without the export-and-reupload routine.
Mover handles Dropbox → OneDrive migrations end to end. Authorize Dropbox, authorize OneDrive, pick the data, run a free dry run. The first byte moves only after you see the price.

Why teams move from Dropbox to OneDrive.
Dropbox is where the data lives; OneDrive is where the company is going. The migration is almost always part of a broader Microsoft 365 push — one identity, one billing line, one storage layer.
Standardizing the team on Microsoft 365
IT consolidates on M365 for identity, billing, and security. Dropbox content has to land somewhere — OneDrive for personal folders, SharePoint for shared sites — for the cutover to actually complete.
Cutting per-seat Dropbox cost
Dropbox Business is per-user. For organizations already paying for an M365 plan that includes 1 TB of OneDrive per seat, the Dropbox line becomes redundant. Migrating the data is what lets you drop the Dropbox renewal.
Tighter integration with Office, Teams, and Entra
Files in OneDrive open natively in Office, share through Teams, and inherit Entra (Azure AD) identity. Moving the data closes the gap between "where files live" and "where work happens".
Compliance and retention controls
Purview, retention labels, and DLP policies apply uniformly across OneDrive and SharePoint. Pulling Dropbox content into the M365 tenant brings it under one governance regime.
4 steps to Go.
From credential to first byte in a handful of clicks. The dry-run is free, every time, and shows the exact cost before you commit a byte.
Connect Dropbox.
Sign in to Dropbox through Mover and authorize the connection. Mover lists every Dropbox the connected account can see — personal accounts and Business team folders alike.
Connect OneDrive.
Sign in to OneDrive through Mover with a Microsoft 365 account that has rights to the destination drives. Mover supports per-user OneDrive and the OneDrive-backed personal layer of SharePoint sites.
Run a free dry run.
Mover walks the Dropbox source, counts files, sums bytes, and tells you the exact cost. The dry run is free, every time. You see the number before any data moves.
Launch the migration.
Live progress, automatic retries on transient failures, and a structured audit log of every file moved. Pause, resume, or cancel at any time.
The pricing math, honestly.
Dropbox does not charge egress. OneDrive does not charge ingress. The only line item is Mover — as low as $0.15/GB on a 10 TB pack. The dry run shows the exact total before you commit.
5 TB Dropbox → OneDrive migration
The dry run is what to trust — it runs against your actual data and reflects the actual pack size you need.
Frequently asked.
Most teams launch their first migration in under 15 minutes. The dry run is free, every time.
Run a free dry run. Connect Dropbox and OneDrive, and Mover walks the source, counts every file, sums the bytes, and returns the exact file count and price before you commit. Buy the matching usage pack, launch, and Mover handles the transfer — re-running later moves only what changed or failed.
Folder hierarchy is preserved. File modification timestamps are preserved where the destination supports it; OneDrive accepts the original modified-time on upload, so the metadata you care about stays intact.
Mover migrates file content. Sharing and permission models differ between Dropbox and OneDrive, so permissions do not transfer 1:1 — they have to be re-established on the destination side, typically via Entra groups and SharePoint sharing. The data is what Mover moves; permissions are what M365 owns.
Yes. After connecting both sides, you can pick the specific folders or accounts to include. Filters and date ranges let you narrow it further — useful for staged cutovers where you migrate one team at a time.
It depends on the size and on Dropbox and OneDrive API rate limits, which Mover respects automatically. The dry run gives you a size estimate; for planning purposes, multi-TB migrations typically complete inside a single business day, with the option to run overnight.
Transient failures are retried automatically. Anything that cannot be transferred — typically because of an unsupported character in the filename or a path that exceeds OneDrive limits — is logged and reported, so you can review and remediate before declaring the migration done.
Yes. Mover reads from Dropbox via OAuth while the migration runs, then writes to OneDrive. You typically cancel the Dropbox plan after the migration is verified, not before.
