Import Data from Box to SharePoint Successfully with CloudFuze

Are you planning to import data and users from Box to SharePoint? If yes, your team must factor in the different approaches available and consider their pros and cons. Equally important is to understand if and how the approach you choose might raise the risk of user impact during the transition.

Manual Import Approach and Its Limitations

For many companies, manual import of data from Box to SharePoint Online is the first option, as it seems feasible with in-house teams. However, manual processes have a lot of limitations.

The primary challenge of importing Box Business data to SharePoint with a manual approach is limitations in data transfer speed. In most cases, manual approaches involve the rudimentary process of downloading data from the source cloud (Box) and uploading it to the destination cloud (SharePoint Online). This process cannot be done at a scale with high-speed performance.

Another challenge of implementing a manual process to import data from Box to Microsoft SharePoint is replicating sharing permissions and preserving other types of metadata, such as:

• File versions
• File and folder timestamps
• Hyperlinks
• Box Notes conversion
• Shared links
• External shares
