- 6. Mover Box to One Drive Migration Process Document No Timestamps For folders But Maintained for files. No version history Maintained but only maintains the Latest Version mostly updated during the Delta Migration. User Accounts accessible Content can only be migrated. If a user has only shared data, and with no owned data, No Migration possible from Box to OneDrive for Business for that User. • Shared data are files and folders that are not owned by the user. When permissions are applied in OneDrive for Business after transferring, folders will be shared again with the appropriate users. • Owned data are files and folders that are owned by the user. Data almost always needs to have an owner within your organization. This is the only data that we actually transfer. • Ownership is typically determined by who created the file or folder, but in some cases it can depend on the owner or creator of the parent (upper or top level) folder. Content changes: If a document is edited in your source or you have added a few new files, we will copy them to your destination on the next incremental run, overwriting the previously existing file(s) in the destination. Name changes: If the name of a file or folder changes in Box, we will treat it as a brand new object. This can lead to duplicate files being migrated to OneDrive for Business, or worse: entire folders worth of data being duplicated from the changed folder downwards. External sharing links must be set in the destination manually after migration.
