Transfer Data from Dropbox to OneDrive with External Shares

When migrating from Dropbox to OneDrive, organizations need to ensure that the external sharing permissions remain intact to make sure they don’t miss out on external collaborations. This is where CloudFuze’s capability to accurately retain external shares helps.
