Why Sync Dropbox Business with OneDrive?

Dropbox Business and OneDrive are both cloud-based storage and collaboration solutions. Dropbox Business is a cloud-based file storage and collaboration platform designed for teams and organizations, offering secure and seamless data management and sharing. Meanwhile, OneDrive is more personal. It is a cloud-based storage service produced by Microsoft for easy and secure access to files from anywhere, closely integrated with Microsoft 365 apps.

Syncing Dropbox Business with OneDrive may be beneficial for a variety of reasons, depending on your specific needs and circumstances. Here are some potential reasons to do so:

Automatically Sync Dropbox Business with OneDrive via MultCloud

The automatic way to sync OneDrive with Dropbox Business or vice versa is using MultCloud Cloud Sync. MultCloud helps gather all your cloud files together on one app and you are allowed to add 30+ different cloud drives, including OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Dropbox, Dropbox Business, and more. With Cloud Sync, a professional cloud-to-cloud sync function, you can easily sync Dropbox Business/Personal with OneDrive for Business/Personal. Besides, since MultCloud supports adding different accounts, you can also sync Dropbox personal to Dropbox Business (for example).

Cloud Sync is not only robust for the automatic task but also for the 10 useful sync modes that you can apply. Here are explanations for some popular ones:

• Real Time Sync: The sync process will run constantly unless there is nothing changed for 7 days or manually paused.
• Two-way Sync: It helps sync Dropbox Business with OneDrive in both ways at the same time.
• Incremental Sync: Compare the files in the source and target clouds and only sync the modified or added files.
• Full Backup Sync: All the files on Dropbox Business will be synced to OneDrive every time you start this task.
• Cumulative Sync: Although some files are deleted on Dropbox Business, the deletion will not be synced to OneDrive.
• Mirror Sync: The files on Dropbox Business and OneDrive will always remain the same.
• Update Sync: Files in the target cloud will be deleted first. Then, the added or modified files will be synced from the source.
• Move Sync: After syncing all files to the target cloud, these files will be deleted in the source cloud.

Manually Sync Dropbox Business with OneDrive on Web

If you only have a few files that need to be synced from Dropbox to OneDrive, you can also use the traditional sync way: download files from Dropbox Business and then upload them to OneDrive.

Also, you have to monitor the downloading process sometimes in case it is paused due to some issues.

You can download files from Dropbox Business and then upload them to OneDrive with the following steps:

Step 1: Enter Dropbox Business and log in to the account.

Step 2: Choose the files you want to sync and click “Download”. Then the Dropbox files will be saved to your computer.

Step 3: Open OneDrive and sign in.

Manually Sync Dropbox Business with OneDrive on Desktop

Another traditional way to sync Dropbox to OneDrive is by dragging and dropping. The premise of using this method is you have downloaded the OneDrive and Dropbox desktop apps. Then, you can find the OneDrive and Dropbox folders in File Explorer, drag files from your Dropbox folder, and drop them into the OneDrive folder.

Step 1: Download the OneDrive and Dropbox desktop apps and launch them with your Dropbox Business and OneDrive accounts.

Step 2: Open File Explorer and drag the files from the Dropbox folder. Then, drop these files to the OneDrive folder. After waiting for some minutes, you will see your desired files appear in OneDrive.
