Estée Lauder Migrates 100+ TBs of Dropbox Data to Microsoft 365 with CloudFuze

Estée Lauder, a global leader in prestige beauty, migrated 1,000+ users and 100+ TB of data from Dropbox to Microsoft 365 (OneDrive and SharePoint Online), with CloudFuze as the migration partner.

The migration was part of a broader move to bring Estée Lauder and DECIEM into a unified Microsoft 365 environment for content storage and collaboration.

CloudFuze handled the migration end-to-end, including Dropbox Team folder to SharePoint migration, permission and external access preservation, version history retention, and provided a fully managed migration service.

Estée Lauder

Customer Overview

Estée Lauder is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of prestige skin care, makeup, fragrance, and hair care products, with a portfolio that includes Estée Lauder, Clinique, M·A·C, La Mer, and DECIEM. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in New York City, the company sells its products in more than 150 countries.

Migration Challenges

Estée Lauder’s Dropbox environment had years of data and team folder structures that needed accurate mapping into SharePoint sites and long-standing permission and external sharing settings that had to carry over without disruption.

At a scale of 100+ TBs of data, the migration also had to account for long file paths and special characters that risked downtime, along with preserving version history across a large volume of content.

CloudFuze’s Role

CloudFuze managed the migration from pre-migration analysis till cutover. Large dedicated servers were allocated to keep performance steady at the scale, and a managed migration service was provided, which included a dedicated project manager.

The full scope of how our team handled the Dropbox Team folder mapping, permission preservation, and path and character issues is covered in this case study.

Migration Results

By partnering with CloudFuze, Estée Lauder successfully migrated 1,000+ users and 100+ TBs of data from Dropbox to Microsoft 365 with permissions, external access, and version history intact, and without disrupting ongoing operations. Read the case study for full details.
