Moving files from DropBox to OneDrive Moving files from your DropBox account to your OneDrive account isn’t difficult, but it does require following a few

simple steps. Before you begin, you should inventory your files within DropBox and determine if you would like to

move your files individually or as one or more groups of files. Moving individual files is simpler, but takes much

longer. Conversely, moving groups of files is quicker, but requires a few extra steps. How you proceed is entirely up

to you.

To move individual files from DropBox to OneDrive:

Navigate to the file(s) you would like

to move and click once on the file to

select it. Once selected, a task menu

will appear above the file list.

Choose and save the file

to your computer’s hard drive or

network drive. Repeat until all of the

files you would like to move have

been downloaded and saved.

Finally, open the folder containing

the files you downloaded from

DropBox. Have this window close

to your OneDrive window. Select

each file (Ctrl +A will select all of the

files at once) then click and drag the

files from the file window to the

OneDrive window.

The selected files are copied to

OneDrive. Be sure to delete the

files from your hard drive or

network drive after the files

appear in your OneDrive.

Next, log into OneDrive and

navigate to the folder in which you

would like to place the files download-

ed from DropBox. You may need to

create a new folder. If so, do this first.

To move groups of files from DropBox to OneDrive:

The process to move groups of files is quite similar. You download the files from DropBox and copy them to

OneDrive. However, DropBox automatically packages multiple files into a compressed (zipped) file when download-

ing to your hard drive or network drive. This means that you will need to perform an extra step— extracting the

compressed files before copying them to OneDrive.

Navigate to the folder you would like

to move and click once on the folder

to select it. Once selected, a task

menu will appear above the file list.

Choose and save the

compressed file to your computer’s

hard drive or network drive.

Navigate to the compressed file

saved to your hard drive or network

drive and double-click to view the

contents.

Next, extract the files. You can save

them to the same folder, if you wish.

Next, log into OneDrive and

navigate to the folder in which you

would like to place the files download-

ed from DropBox. You may need to

create a new folder. If so, do this first.

Finally, open the folder containing

the files you extracted from the

compressed file. Have this window

close to your OneDrive window.

Select each file (Ctrl +A will select all

of the files at once) then click and

drag the files from the file window

to the OneDrive window.

The selected files are copied to

OneDrive. Be sure to delete the

files from your hard drive or

network drive after the files

appear in your OneDrive.
