Switch from Dropbox to InfiOrbit

Keep the simplicity, add the controls: bring your Dropbox folders across with structure intact and land in a tenant your security team can actually audit.

Why switch

Move beyond Dropbox without losing context

Preserve the structures users rely on while adding visible security state, stronger governance, and content intelligence.

Security review, answered

Deny-by-default RBAC, per-tenant keys, BYOK and a complete audit trail — the checklist items consumer-rooted tools retrofit.

Scanned before shared

Dropbox syncs whatever it is given; here every object passes a malware gate before anyone can download it.

Search that understands content

Semantic search and grounded Q&A replace filename guessing.

How the migration runs

Connect, preview, import — with a mandatory dry run

The Migration Center reads your Dropbox content directly. Nothing is written until you approve the dry-run manifest, and every imported file passes the malware quarantine gate before it is downloadable.

1. Connect the source

Add the source from the Migration Center with a scoped credential. Credentials are envelope-encrypted at rest and never shown again.

2. Review the dry-run manifest

A mandatory dry run lists everything in scope — folders, items and total bytes — before a single byte is written, so there are no surprises.

3. Run the gated import

The run recreates your folder structure and routes every file through the same malware quarantine gate as a first-party upload. Per-item errors are reported without aborting the migration.

Scope the work

Estimate the transfer window before discovery

Model the raw network window and the operational workstreams that should be represented in your migration plan.

Directional estimate for moving from Dropbox. Transfer time is raw payload time only and excludes provider throttling, retries, malware scanning, reconciliation, and cutover approvals.

Build a defensible Dropbox migration plan.

Scope the source, map your target workspace, validate the dry run, and schedule cutover with clear acceptance criteria.
