What is Dropbox?
Dropbox is a cloud-based file service which allows users to drop any file into any designated folder and access them later, even on a different device. The files uploaded are automatically uploaded to Dropbox’s cloud and in theory, are available to any other users that have the application installed. Only however, if they have been invited to collaborate with the file or folder by the owner. Essentially, it’s a platform to store and share a variety of file types.
The Dropbox servers keep the same files up to date on all devices. When a user makes changes to one of the folders, Dropbox only updates the pieces of the file that have been changed, rather than updating the whole file. The application is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS and Linux computers. It’s also available in mobile app form for iOS, Android and Windows smartphones and tablets.
The level of your account identifies with how much storage space and features you are given access to. Dropbox Plus users are given two terabytes of storage space, as well as advanced sharing controls, remote wipe, and an optional Extended Version History add-on.

Our Migration Process
To do this, we carefully look at the data stored in files, categorize it, and consider who can access it. The aim is to understand what needs to be moved and the users’ and organization’s requirements.
Once you complete the assessment, the next step is to assess Dropbox as a migration platform. We assess Dropbox’s features, security measures, scalability, and how well it meets the requirements.
Engaging with Dropbox’s representatives provides insights into their migration process and the support they offer during the transition.
Following the platform evaluation, the setup process for Dropbox begins. To make the transition smooth, we create accounts, set permissions, and establish user roles. Adequate preparation during this phase is crucial to ensure a smooth migration process later on.
Now, data preparation takes center stage. Removing unnecessary files in CloudTech24 makes migrating easier by reducing data volume.
To align file organization and permissions, create a detailed plan that maps the data between CloudTech24 and Dropbox. An effective backup strategy is put in place to safeguard data integrity during the migration.
A pilot migration is conducted next, where a selected subset of data is moved from CloudTech24 to Dropbox. This trial migration allows for validation of the migration process, ensuring that folder structures, permissions, and metadata are correctly replicated.
Once the trial is successful, the full-scale migration commences. Clear communication is paramount during this phase.
To help users prepare, notify them early and give clear instructions and timelines. We execute the complete migration process by moving all data from CloudTech24 to Dropbox. We follow the established plan.
Post-migration activities focus on user training and support. Training sessions or resources are provided to assist users in navigating and utilizing Dropbox effectively. Ongoing support is also offered to address any post-migration queries or concerns.
Following the migration, a thorough evaluation is conducted to ensure data integrity and functionality within Dropbox. User feedback is collected to understand their experience and address any lingering issues.
After the migration, we update the documentation and user guides for the new Dropbox platform. We learn from lessons and feedback to make future migrations or platform improvements better.

‘Sync’ is short for synchronise.
