Migrate Dropbox Files to OneDrive with All or Selective Versions

One of the most important historical metadata to preserve when planning to migrate files from Dropbox to OneDrive is versions. Many users and teams use versions in their personal or shared files for tracking changes or past referencing. This way, the need to preserve them in the target cloud, OneDrive, becomes critical for businesses aiming to replicate Dropbox environment in OneDrive.
