How to Migrate Data from a Server to Dropbox?

Last Updated :

Before migrating your data, let your team about the migration and ask them to avoid changing files during the transaction. You need to be logged in to the server computer until the migration is complete. Don't power off, log out or change settings during the migration process. The Dropbox Desktop Application only syncs when you are logged in.

Following are the steps to Migrate Data from a Server to Dropbox:

  1. Download and install "Dropbox" on your server computer.
  2. Make sure that your are accessing the server directly and are not logging in remotely.
  3. Sign in to the Dropbox desktop application with your Dropbox for Business admin account credentials.
  4. An empty "Dropbox" folder will appear on the main drive of your computer.
  5. Here you have two options to migrate your data i.e you can move your Dropbox to the external drive or sync files in batches and use Selective sync.
  6. Open Dropbox folder and start setting up your folders.
  7. From the server computer, copy or move the folders that you would like to sync to Dropbox into the new folders you created.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
