Can CloudFuze Migrate Slack Messages with Files and Folders?

At CloudFuze, we have the industry leading capability to migrate Slack messages along with files and other types of attachments. Since attachments are integral to every conversation between users, we ensure you do not miss out on retaining any file when migrating with us.

In this article, we have shared how our chat migration tool seamlessly and securely migrates files from:

Why Is it Important to Migrate Slack Messages Along with Files and Folders?

Attachments, including files, are an important part of the conversational context in chat messages between individual users and teams. As message attachments, files can include sensitive and business-critical information.

They may also be part of deliverables that your team need to send to clients/customers. Therefore, transferring files when migrating Slack messages to Microsoft Teams and Google Chat is highly important.

Factors to Note When Planning to Migrate Slack Messages with Files

Here are some of the most important factors to consider when planning to migrate files with Slack messages:

• The total number of size and files
• The types of files
• Sharing permissions of the files
• Embedded links in the files

Migrating Slack Messages with Files Manually vs Using a Migration Tool

Businesses and their IT teams have two options to migrate Slack messages along with files: a manual approach, and a migration tool-based approach. While the first approach of manual migration may seem feasible, it actually isn’t.

Migrating a high volume of files (totaling terabytes and petabytes in size) with a manual approach is cumbersome and painfully time-taking. Also, there is no scope to migrate file metadata with a manual approach.

On the contrary, a migration tool-based approach enables your IT team to transfer a high volume of file attachments with all critical metadata intact. You can ensure accurate preservation of each file as per its chat context. This way, you can replicate Slack-based messaging and collaboration structure in destination chat clouds like Teams and Google Chat.
