Planning our drop-box to sharepoint migration, is it user-based or site-based

Question

I have performed many SharePoint on-premises to SharePoint online migrations. but i have a project to do a migration from drop-box to sharepoint online. now i read about drop-box and seems it is a personal cloud storage, where users upload and share files. so when i want to plan a drop-box to SharePoint migration, is this done on user-basis ? for example we need to migrate each drop-box storage to the user's one-drive or to a separate site? or inside drop-box we can access all the files and folders for all users from a single place, so we can migrate them to a single site at once?

Thanks

Answer 1

It depends on what plan of Dropbox you are using in your organization, Dropbox Basic or Dropbox Business.

For example, Microsoft has introduced a new tool called Mover that supports migration from Dropbox. It provides both Dropbox (Single User) Connector and Drobox Business (Admin) Connector.

If you are an administrator for Dropbox Business, you can authorize or add a Multi-User Dropbox Business account as a connector. (See the tutorial here.)

Reference:

Migrating your content to SharePoint and OneDrive.

UPDATE: There are four kinds of destination you can select from.

If you choose to authorize Office 365, then Mover will scan all the available destination (sites) in this tenant. You can select one or multiple sites from the list and do the migration at one time.

Different user can be migrated to the same destination folder/site, or you can manually edit the destination folder so that they can be in different folders of the same document library.
