Box migration, made easy

Moving to SharePoint is like moving homes—let BMA handle the heavy lifting while you enjoy a easy and hassle-free move!

Note: BMA is in beta; features may change and our videos may not reflect the latest.

How BMA helps you save time

Migrates data while you sleep

Box files you select to migrate will be moved to SharePoint and OneDrive by 9:00 a.m. ET the following day. You can turn off your laptop for the evening.

Retains Box file collaborations

You will keep existing non-external file permissions from Box after the migration. External file permissions will not be retained and will need to be set up in SharePoint manually.

Prevents file duplication

No confusion over multiple copies of the same file after migration.

Saves your Box Notes

Box Notes are automatically converted into Word documents during the migration.

How it works

Migrating data is quicker than you may think. Box Migration App (BMA) makes it easy to move your data from Box to SharePoint and OneDrive.

Step 1

Set up your new home

Get familiar with SharePoint and OneDrive and create your SharePoint site(s).

Step 2

Schedule your move

Share your migration status with key collaborators so they know when the migration begins and ends.

Step 3

Select what to move

On your scheduled move date, select the files you want to migrate from Box. Your files will be migrated by 8:00 a.m. ET the following day.

Jennifer

I'm glad we've got something like this. I think if you didn't have this, it would just be a lot of pain for a lot of people, it would just take forever to get people to do this migration. Nobody's got time to spend.

This is gonna really solve the problems I had. This is very user friendly and will be a game changer.

James

The migration tracker gives a lot of insights. I clearly know what's happening to my files and not running into a dark forest after I have submitted my file selections.
