Transfer Enterprise Dropbox Data to SharePoint in The AI Age

Now that Copilot AI has become an integral part of Microsoft 365, transferring enterprise data from Dropbox to SharePoint (and even OneDrive) requires a new kind of approach.

Migration is now not only about transferring data in a straightforward way but also about focusing on AI readiness (Copilot readiness in this case) to adopt and integrate AI in your company’s operations.

In this post, we have shared several insights on how to transfer data from Dropbox to SharePoint Online in the age of AI.

Consolidating Everything into Microsoft 365 Helps in AI Adoption

AI assistants that learn from corporate data, including Microsoft Copilot, thrive on fully consolidated environments. Therefore, it is highly important to aim for migrating entire data and users from Dropbox to SharePoint and OneDrive for a complete consolidation in Microsoft 365.

But moving large sets of data is easier said than done. To ensure your users do not face any downtime when migrating large TBs and even PBs of data, partnering with a proven migration solutions provider like us is a must.

Preserving Metadata in Microsoft 365 is Important for Copilot Adoption

One of the most important areas of ensuring proper Copilot readiness and adoption is to preserve metadata during migration. Important metadata, such as sharing permissions, timestamps, etc, helps build more contextual intelligence in Copilot. As a result, Copilot can deliver better insights and suggestions tailored to the workflows and collaboration patterns of individual users and teams.

At CloudFuze, we have been helping a lot of companies adopt Copilot in meaningful ways by enabling them to preserve all essential types of metadata:

Structuring Data for Migration Helps Power Semantic AI

Transferring data from Dropbox (and other clouds) to SharePoint presents an excellent opportunity to structure data and power semantic understanding in Copilot. For example, you can arrange your SharePoint environment for logical grouping by creating sites such as Sales, Marketing, Engineering, etc., that are aligned with different departments of your company.

As a result, Copilot can get better at delivering personalized recommendations, bringing up better AI search result answers, and more.
