To accurately scope a migration from Dropbox, you must identify the total storage used by the organization and the specific data usage for each individual member. This ensures you have the correct licensing and a realistic migration timeline.
Method 1: Dropbox Admin Console Reports
The Dropbox Admin Console provides built-in reporting tools to export usage data. The following reports are essential for migration discovery:
Team Storage Report
This report provides a high-level overview detailing the total storage used by your entire team. It is the primary metric for understanding the overall scale of your migration.
Member Data Report
This report provides a granular breakdown of data usage for each individual member. Use this report to identify high-volume users who may require specific migration batches or longer synchronization windows.
Official Documentation
For detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to generate these reports within your specific Dropbox tier, please refer to the official Dropbox support documentation:
Automated Discovery with CloudM Migrate
