Copying Dropbox Paper Files to SharePoint Is Now Hassle-free

Companies and their IT teams planning to copy Dropbox files to SharePoint must consider migrating Dropbox-specific files, including Dropbox Paper, apart from industry-standard files such as Microsoft Office files.

However, migrating Dropbox Paper is easier said than done. This is because Microsoft 365 does not support Dropbox Paper format in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business.

Why Do Businesses Need To Migrate Dropbox Paper?

Similar to Microsoft and Google files, such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs, Dropbox Paper forms an integral part of document types that users can create, work on, and share. And as part of migrating all the important user content in Dropbox to SharePoint, businesses must include Dropbox Paper files in the scope of work.

Use Case 1 for Migrating Dropbox Paper

A company’s employees and teams use Dropbox Paper files to ensure they open natively in Dropbox without the users having to sign in on other apps, e.g., Google Docs.

Since users use Dropbox Paper extensively in this scenario, it is a must for the company to migrate all the Dropbox Paper files of each user account.

Use Case 2 for Migrating Dropbox Paper

The management of a company encourages users to use Dropbox Paper for taking notes of critical meetings, such as client introductions, to ensure they can be easily differentiated from other file types, e.g., Microsoft Word documents. The specific use of Dropbox Paper for note-taking helps improve user productivity in finding and accessing the correct meeting notes efficiently.

In this case, the IT team must migrate all the Dropbox Paper files that include meeting notes data.
