Broken Links in Cloud Migration? Use CloudFuze Hyperlink Fixer

Breakage of hyperlinks is one of the biggest problems in cloud migration. Links embedded in files do not work in the target cloud with the traditional cloud migration method, and almost all businesses are troubled by it.

At CloudFuze, we have had many businesses and even MSPs come to us with broken link issues they have faced after migrating with another vendor. In this guide, learn how we address the issue of broken links in cloud migration.

Key Takeaways:

  • Broken links in cloud migration occur when hyperlinks in files break due to changes in folder paths.
  • It is possible to fix links that have already broken in past cloud migrations through a link fixing tool.
  • CloudFuze Hyperlink Fixer is the best tool for fixing links that have broken after cloud migration.

What are Broken Links in Cloud Migration and Why Do They Occur?

Broken links in cloud migration is the issue of hyperlinks (links embedded in files) breaking in the destination cloud. It occurs when paths of the files change during migration and can no longer point to the original address.

In almost all cloud migration projects, folder paths change and therefore cause each embedded link of every file to break in the destination cloud. As a result, most businesses face this issue when taking cloud migration services.

Is it Possible to Fix Broken Links After Migration?

Yes. You can fix broken links after cloud migration with CloudFuze Hyperlink Fixer. We have designed the tool for correcting hyperlinks during migration as well as fixing them post migration.

  • Scan and identify all the broken links
  • Migrate and correct those broken links
