How to Migrate Dropbox to SharePoint Without Losing Data

Introduction

Numerous companies are migrating away from Dropbox in favor of SharePoint. Greater security, document management features, and integration with Microsoft 365 are the many advantages provided by SharePoint. At the same time, moving files from Dropbox to SharePoint is fraught with several risks that require careful evaluation to avoid data loss.

The guide will make clear the process for migrating from Dropbox to SharePoint while avoiding data loss.

Why Migrate from Dropbox to SharePoint?

1. Better Integration

SharePoint works well with other Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook.

2. Enhanced Security

SharePoint allows better control over access, compliance features, and data encryption.

3. Improved Collaboration

Real-time co-authoring lets you see edits instantly, files are managed through version controls, and structured document management lets you organize efficiently.

Challenges in Dropbox to SharePoint Migration

1. Risk of Data Loss

Improper migration could result in lost files, broken document links, or damaged pictures and files.

2. File Structure Incompatibility With Each Other

Dropbox and SharePoint differ in the way they organize files, leaving room for correctly mapping their setup.

3. Permission Conflicts

Migrating role definitions and permissions would present challenges if it were not smoothly managed.

Best Practices for Almost Foolproof Migration

1. Plan the Migration Process

Before migration, analyze Dropbox data. Identify files, folders, and permissions for relocation.

2. Choose the Right Migration Method

Manual migration, built-in migration tools from Microsoft, and third-party migration tools are the options available.

3. Organize and Clean Data.

Remove duplicate or unwanted files. This reduces migration time and assures a clean SharePoint site. 

4. Map Dropbox Folders to SharePoint Libraries.

Align Dropbox folders with corresponding SharePoint document libraries to maintain structure.

5. Provide Correct User Permissions.

Review user roles on Dropbox and assign similar permissions on SharePoint prior to migration.

6. Test Migration.

Lastly, testing the migration is essential. Testing with a sample set of files allows you to identify potential issues that may arise during the larger-scale migration.

7. Execute Full Migration

Once testing has proven successful, stage-migrate all data to mitigate occurrences of disruptions.

8. Verify and Validate Data

Post-migration, double-check that all files and data are accounted for, and repair any missing or corrupted files right away.

9. Train Users in SharePoint

Train users on SharePoint features, access controls, and best practices for file management.

Tools for Migration from Dropbox to SharePoint

Multiple tools are available to migrate Dropbox to SharePoint     , the most common being:

Kernel Migration for SharePoint

SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT)

Third-party migration solutions

Microsoft provides some options built-in for migrations but third-party options allow for much more customizability and features.

Conclusion

Migrating Dropbox to SharePoint is vital for organizations needing enhanced collaboration and security. However, for a smooth transition, a dependable migration tool is necessary.

One of the best tools for Dropbox to SharePoint migration is the Kernel Dropbox to SharePoint Migration Tool. It streamlines the migration process and ensures zero data loss, folder structures, permissions, and metadata retention.

When done properly, migrating Dropbox to SharePoint is a pleasant experience. Pick a trustworthy solution and reap the rewards of SharePoint right away.

Migrate from #Dropbox to #SharePointOnline with these easy-to-follow steps:

Malicious SharePoint and OneDrive links are a phishing scammer’s dream

Attackers are exploiting the rapid adoption of cloud-based collaboration services such as Microsoft’s SharePoint Online and OneDrive by leveraging them as a social engineering tool to trick users into clicking on malicious links, often for the purpose of wire fraud or supply chain fraud.

In an analysis this week, cybersecurity firm Proofpoint revealed that in the first half of 2020, it collected approximately 5.9 million email messages featuring malicious SharePoint Online and OneDrive links. While these emails constituted only about one percent of all messages containing malicious URLs, they represented more than 13 percent of all user clicks.

This report comes on top of another report this week that warned of similar tactics to steal a corporate user’s login credentials using Microsoft Teams.

Users were found to be seven times more likely to click on a malicious SharePoint or OneDrive link that’s hosted on a legitimate Microsoft domain. Recipients were four times more likely to click on a SharePoint phishing link, and 11 times more likely to click on a malicious OneDrive link.

Experts say could-based collaboration services are ideal tools for adversaries to abuse for social engineering because if the bad actors can compromise a person’s actual cloud-based account, they can then reach out to their contacts and fool them into thinking the email contains an invoice, voicemail or similar legitimate communication from a partner or colleague. “These attacks mimic the way people do business,” Itir Clarke, senior product marketing manager at Proofpoint, told SC Media.

Proofpoint observed about 5,500 compromised Microsoft tenants, “which represent a large portion of Microsoft’s enterprise customer base,” the company said in a blog post.

Oliver Tavakoli, CTO at Vectra, agreed that these kind of phishing scams tend to be more successful “since the email is sourced by an internal party, rather than being from an external party pretending to be internal, and the links to SharePoint or OneDrive files reinforce to the victim that this is an internal communication.”

Tom Pendergast, chief learning officer at MediaPRO, noted that attackers are simply jumping on the same bandwagon as their targets.

“Document-sharing and collaboration links are now eclipsing attachments for document sharing, so it’s natural that cybercriminals are moving in the same direction,” said Tom Pendergast, chief learning officer at MediaPRO.

“These links, especially from SharePoint, can look pretty obscure and complicated even when they are legit. So people get used to clicking on strange-looking but real links, thinking they have the context to validate it’s real. That itself is a problem, but if you’re co-worker’s email account gets hijacked and that’s where the link comes from? Now you’ve got a known sender and an expected form of link. It’s the perfect setup for a scam.”

The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting remote-workforce culture has only accelerated cloud adoption and the malicious targeting that has followed.

“Employees and organizations are using collaboration platforms more and more, especially with the increase in remote workers,” said Hillary Baron, program manager, research, with the Cloud Security Alliance.

These tools are often sanctioned by their organization for use so they’re seen as credible. Hackers are then taking advantage of this by mimicking what is familiar and trusted by employees.

URLs are rewritten to protect users on any device or network as well as provide real-time sandboxing on every click

“Change is generally good for attackers and bad for defenders,” said Tavakoli. “A rapid migration from one mode of working to another creates uncertainty in the minds of general users as to what would be normal in this new world. And attackers who rely on duping users exploit that uncertainty.”

“Furthermore, an account takeover of days past, when your Exchange server was locally hosted in your network, was not as easy to leverage for this type of an attack, as it also required the attacker to have access to a system on the organization’s network,” Tavakoli continued. “Now an account which has been taken over can be directly utilized from the internet, thus reducing the level of scrutiny it receives.”

How the scam works… and how to prevent it.

According to Proofpoint, after a typical SharePoint or OneDrive account compromise, the attackers upload a malicious file and change the sharing permissions of the account to “public” so that anyone can access it. The malicious link is then shared with the compromised users’ contacts or other targeted individuals.

Sometimes the link is a unique redirect URL “and hence can be difficult to detect, as it would not appear on any URL reputation repository,” Proofpoint explained.

Other similarly abused cloud-based services include Sway, Dropbox, Googleapis, Google Docs, Google Drive, and Box.

Proofpoint also said that some attackers have strategically placed malicious content in one compromised account while using a second account – perhaps one belonging to an important or credible individual one might a communication from – to send the link. “In addition, even if the compromised account in the second tenant is discovered, the malicious file hosted in the first tenant would not be taken down. And so, the attack would persist,” Proofpoint noted.

Proofpoint said this particular phishing scam is difficult to detect “and even harder to block/mitigate if you lack visibility into both email and cloud environments.”

Suggestions from experts to reduce the overall threat included improving cloud visibility training, adopting a Cloud Access Security Broker solution

Chris Hazelton, director of security solutions at Lookout, said that organizations moving to the cloud should “move protections from phishing and social engineering attacks to all the endpoints used to access corporate cloud data. For instance, “privacy centric monitoring should take place on every endpoint accessing corporate data,” he added.

Hazelton also advised beefing up training to “help users understand that trusted websites can be used in phishing attacks. Users need to go beyond just inspecting web links. They need to make sure that the context in which a cloud service is being used makes sense.”

Baron also recommended installing “technical solutions for Zero Trust networking such as Software Defined Perimeters (SDP), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), and Network Access Control (NAC)” to protect remote workers.

Other experts and security companies recommended investing in Cloud Security Access Brokers, predictive sandboxing, employee/role-based risk assessments (to determine who is likely to be targeted), identity and access management, multi-factor authentication for endpoints and cloud-based services, and more.

SC Media also reached out to Microsoft to inquire how the company recommends users of its cloud-based collaboration services defend themselves against this trending threat.

Why SharePoint Training Is Essential for The Users

SharePoint is a powerful collaboration platform that is used by many organizations to create, save, share and sync their business documents in real time. But before the organization starts to create the process, it is highly important to train the staffs or employees about how to use it. Though modern SharePoint is highly intuitive and easier to use than the previous versions, but this does not mean that there is no need for any training. As more and more businesses are migrating to SharePoint, the demand for experienced SharePoint development company is also increasing.

Top reasons why SharePoint application development should be followed with a proper training session:

SharePoint is not like DropBox:

DropBox and SharePoint have many similarities. Both are designed for simple file sharing and synchronization across various devices, but SharePoint was especially designed to be a completely independent ecosystems of components that helps to solve many business operations in large corporations and at the same time enhance collaboration. A SharePoint development company helps to create applications that have a great interface and can be used to share, create and manage documents easily. Since it is different from the Dropbox interface, a proper training is needed before using it.

There are multiple ways of doing a thing in SharePoint:

One simple thing that you can do in SharePoint is sharing the documents. This task can be done in at least 5 different ways and the users have to understand how to navigate around the site and know what the buttons on the ribbons do. They should also be aware of the impact of each actions in SharePoint or else there can be issues related to security and integrity. To maintain the security of your business website, education and training of your staff is essential.

No one loves changes:

SharePoint can do a lot of tasks by using SharePoint reporting tools and etc.  This means changes in the process and for this the users need to learn the new process also. This is the fact that applies to almost everything in our lives. People do not want to come out of their comfort zones and want to continue with everything as long as they are cozy. SharePoint implementation may drive them out of their comfort zones and this might cause problems. SharePoint training will help them cope up with the changes and solve various issues.

Adding of new features need training:  

SharePoint comes up with updates and the latest version brings with it various new features that may at times be difficult for the users to implement without proper training. SharePoint training is a great way to help them understand the cool functionalities clearly and offer the user support when they need and where they need.

Training sessions help to become more interactive:

Training sessions are often a great time to listen to your users and also clear their doubts or queries. This will help you to determine how easy or complicated the entire thing is for them and based on it, you may prepare the sessions that address their specific needs or queries.

SharePoint is very versatile and can do a lot of tasks besides just document management. To understand the application and how it works, it is crucial to understand the features and the process. Proper training sessions help to avail the best benefits of the collaboration tool.

Microsoft Ignite 2019 OneDrive

Microsoft Ignite 2019 OneDrive. Main announces list: Experience easy file access Work and share with confidence Migrate efficiently

1. Experience easy file access

a. Upload and sync large files We are pleased to announce Microsoft 365 supports uploads of file sizes up to 100 GB – which includes uploads of files into SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive. To complement these large uploads, we announced availability of differential sync for PC and Mac, bringing the ability to sync only the parts of large files that have changed, not the entire file. For example, in the below illustration, you can see that after a simple edit, only 2 MB of a 100 MB file is being synced instead of the complete file. When you add any changes to a file Differential sync syncs part of the file instead of the entire file.  This makes the file synchronization process faster for these files. It also reduces the time taken to upload and download a file as well as consumed bandwidth. Differential sync is already available for Office file types and is rolling out to most file types like JPEG, PDF, MOV, MP4 etc. b. Recommended view Finding content is one of the biggest inefficiencies we have daily and with OneDrive we want to help you quickly find the files that matter most. Leveraging the intelligence of the Microsoft Graph, OneDrive showcases relevant files based on how you work and collaborate with others. Recommended view surfaces files trending around you bringing attention to important files you may not want to miss, based on actions like a recent edit from a fellow collaborator, comments and @mentions, highlighting a file you recently opened, and general file activity trends. This view is consistent across OneDrive for web and Office. c. Intelligent file card updates Visibility of all file activities is key, and we are continuously working to make it as seamless as possible. Whenever you hover over a file in OneDrive and SharePoint you will be able to see a wealth of information about your files at a glance. Earlier this year we announced updates to File card introducing features like “Inside look” that will surface deeper information on a file like key points and time to read the file as well as “Activity highlights” that will show relevant activities related to the files you’re working on, like edits, comments, or @mentions. Today, we announced an additional update coming soon to the file card- “Conversations”. Now, when you hover over files that have been shared in email, meeting invitations, or private Teams chats, you will be able to see those conversations in the file card and allow users to jump back to them.  Users' collaborate in many places and the file card will help you remember where that work took place.

d. Save for later With this feature you will be able to bookmark files and folders across OneDrive and SharePoint for later access. You will see an aggregate of everything you have saved in the “Saved for later “ section in your OneDrive making it easy for you to quickly get back to content from your OneDrive or a shared library.

2. Work and share with confidence

a. Coherent file sharing and collaboration across Office 365 Microsoft is bringing a consistent sharing experience wherever you share from. As much as we are rationalizing the files experience across Microsoft 365, we, too, are working to ensure the sharing experience and rich set of sharing options are consistent across devices and platforms. Today, this includes OneDrive, Office desktop and mobile apps, SharePoint document libraries, Windows Explorer and Mac Finder – and now, Teams. Most recently we announced ubiquitous sharing experience across Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Soon, you will be able to share files by easily adjusting the sharing and access controls (view, edit, expire, block download, etc.) directly in Microsoft Teams and Outlook web app. Links shared will intelligently reconcile to the name of the file. Coherent files sharing experience in Teams. You can copy address bar URLs and they to will reconcile into the file name.  We are also heavily invested in making the collaboration experience reliable, intuitive and secure. Office is more than just a canvas for document creation- it supports native collaboration with real time coauthoring as well as helps you in staying up to date with your file activities with effective features like @mentions, comments and most recently announced- tasks. Coming soon, across Word, Excel and PowerPoint, is Tasks, that will help you assign responsibilities to your peers, which can be resolved once the job is complete. In addition to assigning the task you can also reassign it and track any changes made to the task within the comment thread via the inline history. But that’s not all! Soon with Outlook, you will be able to save time and collaborate faster with comment and context previews in @mention and comment emails. This implies, when using Outlook, you'll be able to reply to the comments without even needing to leave Outlook.

Reply to the comments within Outlook b. Block download for more file types Sharing sensitive data can be daunting, which is why we’ve made sure OneDrive is a great secure, private and compliant platform for sharing content, whether it’s with colleagues or external clients. Earlier this year, across the various options of sharing links, we introduced the capability of “block download” enabling you to keep your content in the cloud by not allowing users to download Office files. This capability helps you avoid out of date copies and maintain access control. Today, we are glad to announce that shortly, you will be able to apply the same functionality to images, 3D, PDF files and more. c. Expiring access for external users We realize strong teamwork requires you to share and collaborate with peers not only within your organization but even with folks outside your organization- be it your partners, customers, 3rd party vendors etc. In the near future, administrators will be able to set a mandatory expiration period to ensure that access doesn’t last forever and avoid leaking organization data by accident. This policy can be enabled in the SharePoint admin center (both modern and classic) and applies to both OneDrive and SharePoint. Once the policy is implemented, external users will automatically lose access to content on a site by site (or OneDrive by OneDrive) level. SharePoint site administrators and OneDrive owners will have the authority to extend or remove access for the selected users. OneDrive owners will have the authority to extend or remove access for the selected users. d. Request files With over 2,700 votes on UserVoice, this was our 3rd most voted for ask in “Sharing & Collaboration”. We realized that there was a strong need for people to collect files from others, often from collaborators outside of their organization, without letting them have the visibility to the content of the folder. Aligning to this requirement we are glad to announce rollout of the “Request Files” functionality where you can create special links to request files from others. Anyone with the file request link will be able to upload files without having to sign in, no OneDrive account required. Best of all, uploaders will only be able to upload files. They can't view, edit, or even see who else may have uploaded to the request. There are multiple use cases where this feature can be extremely valuable – consider "Request for Proposal" (RFP) scenario where you need to collect bids from others, or a marketing professional accumulating quotes from various vendors for a campaign, a teacher collecting assignments , a manager reaching out for feedback from his team members or a financial rep or recruiter gathering documents from their clients- just to name a few.​

3. Migrate efficiently

a. Leverage the power of M3: Microsoft | Mover |Migration Recently, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Mover, a leading provider of cloud file migration, including admin-led and self-service offerings. As customer demand to move content to the cloud continues to grow, Mover helps make it easier than ever for customers to migrate files to Microsoft 365.

Microsoft acquires Mover to help with Microsoft 365 cloud migration

Microsoft wants to make it as easy as possible to migrate to Microsoft 365, and today the company announced it had purchased a Canadian startup called Mover to help. The companies did not reveal the acquisition price.

Microsoft 365 is the company’s bundle that includes Office 365, Microsoft Teams, security tools and workflow. The idea is to provide customers with a soup-to-nuts, cloud-based productivity package. Mover helps customers get files from another service into the Microsoft 365 cloud.

As Jeff Tepper wrote in a post on the Official Microsoft Blog announcing the acquisition, this about helping customers get to the Microsoft cloud as quickly and smoothly as possible. “Today, Mover supports migration from over a dozen cloud service providers — including Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, and Google Drive — into OneDrive and SharePoint, enabling seamless file collaboration across Microsoft 365 apps and services, including the Office apps and Microsoft Teams,” Tepper wrote.

Tepper also points out that they will be gaining the expertise of the Mover team as it moves to Microsoft and helps add to the migration tools already in place.

Tony Byrne, founder and principal analyst at Real Story Group, says that moving files from one system to another like this can be extremely challenging regardless of how you do it, and the file transfer mechanism is only part of it. “The transition to 365 from an on-prem system or competing cloud supplier is never a migration, per se. It’s a rebuild, with a completely different UX, admin model, set of services, and operational assumptions all built into the Microsoft cloud offering,” Byrne explained.

Mover is based in Calgary, Canada. It was founded in 2012 and raised $1 million, according to Crunchbase data. It counts some big clients as customers including AutoDesk, Symantec and BuzzFeed.

Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange is a mail server and calendaring server developed by Microsoft. It runs exclusively on Windows Server operating systems.

The first version of Exchange Server was Exchange Server 4.0. The current version is Exchange Server 2019.

Microsoft is well-known for having confusing marketing language and Exchange is no exception.

In a nutshell, the original Microsoft Exchange server solution was designed to be installed on-premise (On-prem). In U.S. Healthcare, it’s no secret that on-prem Exchange servers remain prevalent.

Microsoft however, is also marketing Exchange Online, which is essentially Exchange in the cloud. To add to the confusion, Exchange Online is also bundled into Office 365.

For the purposes of this post, we will focus on the on-prem version of Microsoft Exchange Server.

Microsoft Exchange and the Business Associate Agreement

We’ve previously talked about how a Business Associate Agreement is a written contract between a Covered Entity and a Business Associate. It is required by law for HIPAA compliance.

We’ve also previously covered that for its cloud offerings, the Microsoft Trust Center has a page called HIPAA and the HITECH Act. It outlines the cloud services covered by the Microsoft Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

Since the scope of this post is on-prem Microsoft Exchange, data on an on-prem Exchange server is not typically stored in Microsoft’s cloud. Therefore, Microsoft’s BAA would not apply in this scenario.

Exceptions to this would be:

During a migration from on-prem Exchange to Office 365, organizations often migrate their email in sequences. This creates a hybrid situation of on-prem Exchange and Office 365 in the cloud.

Some organizations backup their Exchange data to the cloud. This scenario is outside the scope of this post.

Microsoft Exchange Server (On-Prem Solution)

We can look at two high level aspects of HIPAA compliance when it comes to on-prem software solutions:

Is the data at-rest on the server encrypted?

Is the data in-motion that’s sent by the server encrypted?

As for the underlying server, Exchange must be run on the Windows Server Operating System. It’s fairly straightforward to encrypt entire disk drives on Windows Server. This would effectively cover the first aspect- encrypting data at-rest on the server.

As for the data in-motion as it applies to Microsoft Exchange outbound email, it does not offer encryption in transit for all email recipients. This is where solutions like the Paubox HIPAA Compliant Email can come in.

In a nutshell, Microsoft Exchange can leverage Paubox Encrypted Email to gain HIPAA compliance.

Data in Motion on Microsoft Exchange (Other Considerations)

Of note when it comes to data in-motion for Microsoft Exchange, it also offers:

Webmail access via Outlook Web Access (OWA)

POP access

IMAP access

For OWA and HIPAA compliance, a secure SSL connection (HTTPS) must be in place for all webmail connections.

The same is true for POP and IMAP access, although we recommend disabling both of them. As a replacement, ActiveSync can be used, which is effectively better than both POP and IMAP.

NOTE: Consult with your Exchange Administrator regarding configuring your Exchange server in a HIPAA compliant manner.

Does Microsoft Exchange Offer HIPAA Compliant Service?

The Business Associate Agreement is a key component to HIPAA compliance between a covered entity and a business associate.

We saw that the on-premise versions of Microsoft Exchange can be configured for HIPAA compliance.

Conclusion:

On-prem Microsoft Exchange Server can be configured for HIPAA compliance.

At a high level, here’s what needed:

The data at-rest on the server is encrypted

The data in-motion is encrypted

HIPAA Compliant Email solutions like Paubox can provide HIPAA compliance for all email data sent by Microsoft Exchange.
