Manual vs. Tool: Migrate Content from Amazon WorkDocs to OneDrive
There are two ways to migrate content from Amazon WorkDocs to OneDrive – manually or using a third-party cloud migration tool. To choose between them, it is best to know the pros and cons of both approaches.
We have provided insights on manual and tool-based options for transferring files and folders from Amazon WorkDocs to OneDrive.
Manual Approach to Transfer Data from Amazon WorkDocs to OneDrive
Manual migration means downloading files from Amazon WorkDocs and then uploading them to OneDrive. If you’re migrating fewer file folders, manual migration may work, although it is highly time-consuming. Here are the steps:
Steps involved are:
- Begin with a thorough review of content to be migrated from Amazon WorkDocs.
- Find and delete unwanted files.
- To avoid data loss, back up before transferring.
Downloading Files from WorkDocs on Amazon:
- Log in to your Amazon WorkDocs account using a web browser.
- Check the files and folders to be migrated.
- After making your selections, start the download to a local storage place.
Uploading Files to OneDrive:
- Use a web browser to access your OneDrive account.
- Create the required files folders in OneDrive to replicate the old structure.
- To move files from local storage to OneDrive, use the option of ‘Upload’.
The manual approach of migrating files from Amazon WorkDocs to OneDrive is budget-friendly and requires no special tool. You have complete control over the migrating data, so you can select which files to transfer.
However, manual methods turn out to be complex and unmanageable for large file folder hierarchies. Also, manual errors can occur, and it is quite challenging to maintain metadata like permissions along with version history during transfer.
