I use bittitan migrationwiz quite some times. It really isn't that hard.
Also, MS is coming with a native mailbox migration tenant-to-tenant solution. For data you have mover.io (aquired by MS).
You only have 7 mailboxes, so what you did was fine (but far, far, far from ideal), but for bigger migrations, mover.io and bittitan work really well. It saves you a lot of time and headaches (you'll still get a few, though, but that's just MS you know.. :D)
Yup, all Google Apps for Education ones are unlimited to my knowledge.
If you have large files on another Google Drive you want to transfer, you can also use Mover.io and then, after moving them, share those files with your regular account. It's what I do to make all those photos appear on my computer synced with regular Google Drive while still using the education one for its storage capacity.
You really would be better off useing MigrationWiz or IMAP to migrate
pretty sure microsot now has brought https://mover.io/ and you can use it for free.
it really would be a much easier option for you. probably quicker 2
mover.io will help you migrate files cloud to cloud.
Onedrive is ok, IMHO not quite as solid at sync as Dropbox but you gain lots more overall. I have lots of users on PC/Mac using OD and SPOL sync etc. It is the way if in MS universe.
The migration between platforms goes far beyond just hey dump this stuff over there.
Get the structure of Teams/Sharepoint decided first, understand the pros/cons of how the platform works and then build out your migration file for mover.io
Many of our migrations take the form of a Teams Site with the top level "Documents Folder" aka Doc Library being the channel based Doc storage and then add Doc Libraries for the primary Sub folders from a Departmental File share/shared drives. Always best to structure source first but it can be done using a CSV file too.
I also like using BitTitan migration wiz. Once you have both ends setup its a really good tool and done many successful migrations without having shit ton of MS errors and quirks to deal with.
Personally, with only 4 users and the amount of effort required to setup the Microsoft migration tools (i couldn't get it to work about 10 months ago), I would:
Add the domain to O365 and create the new accounts in O365. assign licences.
Use mover.io for the Google Drive files.
For the old email, Install the Google Outlook add-on for Outlook. Add the four accounts to Outlook making sure I'm using the Outlook addin to add the Google accounts to outlook. AFter downloading everything, export each account to PST.
Change the MX record to point to O365 so all new email goes to O365.
Then import the four PSTs into the new O365 accounts. I would find this easier, but I know others might think I'm a bit crazy to use this method.
But Bittitan.com can do everything for not a lot of money and much more automated.
These are the only experiences I have to share, i haven't tried other tools.
Pretty sure you won't be able to add more data to your expired onedrive and that's about it.
You can migrate your existing onedrive data to your new one using https://mover.io - I used it when Microsoft screwed the storage limits on free accounts.
>I've used png gauntlet in the past. I'll try optipng.
I haven't tried PNG Gauntlet, but it appears to use Optipng as a backend. Personally I recommend using Optipng directly since PNG Gauntlet might not have the latest improvements due to not having a new release since 2012.
Here's the command I use to get the most lossless compression, use error recovery, and strip metadata:
optipng -i0 -fix -o7 -zm1-9 -strip all infile.png -out outfile.png
Just a heads up, optimizing PNGs takes a long time, especially with larger files and higher optimization options enabled.
>Regardless, the biggest problem Is the 5mb cutoff I think. I started hitting it with more complex backgrounds and especially the hair texturing.
Yeah, I was hoping to get results better than a 5% decrease. Usually I get somewhere between 5%-10%, and on rare occasions I get as much as 50% savings for poorly compressed files. I just thought I could show that saving on space without losing quality is possible.
>How does copy.com perform compared to dropbox?
Comparing just what both services offer for free, I've found copy.com to be a really nice alternative to Dropbox:
15GB storage, plus an additional 5GB with a referral link
File migration that supports multiple services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and any other service supported by Mover.io
I've used BitTitan a few times, if the mailboxes are tiny, and you can do everyone in one go, it's fine, but if you have users with >10GB mailboxes, the "copy" method has issues.
I've also used the Microsoft cross-tenant method a couple of times https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/cross-tenant-mailbox-migration?view=o365-worldwide
When everything is setup, it's just doing a remote mailbox move, set the migrations to manually complete and keep them refreshed, then complete when ready.
With either method, ideally one uses an external mail service that can spool the email while the migrations complete, the domain is removed from the old tenant, added to the new tenant, and email addresses are added to the accounts.
For SharePoint and OneDrive, Microsoft bought mover.io, it's not perfect, but the price is right.
We have tried BitTitan, Mover.io, Sharegate...each of the descriptions of each talk about how they move libraries and files, and some refer to what they don't do, others don't mention their weaknesses. I have not checked out Avepoint or Metalogix yet. I'll see what those give us.
In this Ex2003 environment, what are the mailbox sizes? It's been some time since I had to manage a 2003 environment, though back then mailboxes sizes were fairly small compared to today. Ex2003 just didn't scale large mailboxes very well. 50 or 100mb were common limits at the time. So if the mailbox sizes are small, Exmerge can likely get the job done. I don't know if the connectors for mover.io can even work with Ex2003. Most connectivity was over MAPI. I'm sure I have copies of exmerge around here somewhere. I recall a version of it was released sometime around Exchange 2010 and 2013 that did away with the 2GB limit.
I would look at mover.io which has been bought out by microsoft and can be used for free. Its a very powerfull tool. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/mover-setup-m365-destination
This was the first thing I tried, but it failed with an empty log file
Source Path, Destination Path
[email protected], https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxxxClients
​
source being the personal onedrive account, I am the Global tenant admin for the destination, also still have access to the source, both side mover.io was granted
Personal files go to OneDrive, Shared data to SharePoint.
We're using the Microsoft Migration tool, but Mover.io does the trick too.
What we typically do is perform an initial sync, have old file shares read only, do a final sync and after that remove the files shared (while retaining data).
We use Intune to automount the SharePoint sites based on permissions. The newer OneDrive client also only download the items you access, not all you have access to (when configured correctly). But setting new permissions on the new SharePoint sites is a manual task and not performed by the migration tool. Although the migration tool can (in hybrid situations and in some cases) keep the current file and folder permissions.
That was it, Golden my friend!
I've never heard of OneDrive needing to be provisioned before. You would think it would just be setup with the account. That Microsoft document was perfect and now Mover.io is working finally.
Its my understanding that those permissions don't transfer over. The person that owns the files will have to reshare them. I won't know for sure until Monday when my people all log in. This link says that it's possible but I'm not sure
like I said then, mover.io is probably your best resource. You could possibly look at one of teh skykick or bittitan products as well. Since you're not dealing with metadata and such Sharegate is probably a lot of overkill.
The files are on file servers? If so you will need to use a tooll such as Sharepoint migration tool or mover.io to move all their files over to onedrive. Then you just map them the same as they are now. Each machine Onedrive runs on will get a new %onedrive% variable you can use
Have not used fasttrack. I am using mover.io to do my migration from dropbox to onedrive, for about 600 users. This is a new company MS acquired recently and is a free service (a spectacular one i might add) that is included with E3 and above I believe?
Haven't been through this, but this support article was a quick google search away: Switch from an Office 365 for home to a business subscription. Unfortunately it does look like their process is to download and then re-upload for OneDrive data.
If faced with this, I'd probably get a VPS or hosted PC setup for a month and do it through there vs on my personal PC. MacStadium is reasonably priced for a one gig connection with no data cap and you can get it with Windows installed if you want. It's month to month and this shouldn't take very long if you're diligent.
There's also options like mover.io, but it looks like they only have a OneDrive Business connector, so it may not be able to talk to your old personal account.
I know it's late and I just saw this today, but transferring files between cloud services is what mover.io is all about. It works between Dropbox and Google Drive for sure, but I'm not sure whether that will work perfectly with the new Photos features.
Is this a modern site collection, or classic that had been migrated from on prem in the past? If you go to library settings/advanced settings, scroll to the bottom and change the list experience to Classic Experience. Does this work? Do any of the files in your library have no file extension? Open with explorer (in IE) or map as a network drive and see if the files are visible any if any are missing an extension. If you can't do that, list them with Power Automate and see if this is the case. If none of this resolves your issue, I would create a new library and use PowerAutomate to copy all your files to the new library, then delete the old one and call it a day. Alternatively, you could use a migration tool like ShareGate or Microsoft's free offering, Mover.io to accomplish this.

Long term - don't let your users use the personal OneDrive. It's not as secure and can't be transferred between users when you offboard someone. It would make more sense for you to move their personal accounts to their business accounts using the free Microsoft tool at https://mover.io. Then you can silently enable OneDrive for Business from Intune with no URLs, it will just magically move them from one to the other. You get the added admin control.
If you are fairly traditional then SPMT and mover.io does an OK job. Have done plenty of successful migrations with these tools. But anything really complicated it's worth having a look a Sharegate.
I echo that a damn good tidy up of File share/Dropbox before you try and move stuff. File names can be an issue in mixed platform environments, powershell can help you here.
Get all the Extra Doc Libs setup under Each "Team" and keep the Top Level SPO/Teams Doc library uncluttered and build that out as your comms platform.
There is more than one way to cook and egg as far as getting this done and so many of the Information Management decisions are based on your current workflow and expected workflow going forward.
I have done this. I used mover.io with no issues.
I believe the account I was using could see or was owner of all the source Dropbox folders, then you just use mover to add source and dest and kick it off. Post move, you can get reports (excel format) on what was migration, any errors etc (I had no errors). Don't forget to remove user access from the source post move.
Related note - does anyone know if the option to migrate from a Windows server still exists? I went into Mover.io today to try and add a new project but Agent was no longer an option as the Source. I also noticed that the link on the website for the Server agent migration walkthrough now brings you to a 404 error, and the download page for the server agent has an SSL error. But the website still advertises it as an option, so I'm a bit confused. If it is indeed no longer supported, does anyone have recommendations for alternatives? I have looked at Cloudsfer but it appears to be fairly expensive.
I'm a Linux person (developer, a bit of sysadmin) that had to recently do some SharePoint migration in short notice. I used for 60GB the tool that I already knew and it's a bit of Linux "minded" tool but it works perfectly for SharePoint and on Windows: rclone (https://rclone.org/). I think that rclone copies only the files: no permissions, no history of the files. If you need them I don't think that it does it for you :-( so ignore the message :-) (or check if there is some option before spending too much time).
What I would do: setup rclone with two targets (one each site). Do an `rclone sync` from A to B. By default it uses 4 (I think, you can change it) transferrers, it backoff as needed, etc. Do it during the week, whenever suits you, keep monitoring, don't get desperate with the backing off. You need at least the skip-size and skip-hash (it's explained in the documentation)
Then on the weekend that you want to make the switch: another `rclone sync` which will sync only the changes that need to be done.
We have if I remember correctly 60 GB of data and I did this. For 2 weeks i had an rclone sync automatic so I was keeping things in sync and monitoring the things (and it was taking just 30 min or even less!). And then on the day that we agreed we stop using the old file server and started using SharePoint.
You can specify a subfolder in the destination different to the origin or whatever you need.
I didn't hear of mover.io and other tools until after this.
Have you looked at Mover.io? It is not as complete a solution as ShareGate, but it does happen to be free. It's been a while since I used it last, but seems like it included the ability to move Dropbox. Good luck!
For our specific use case just looking at ways to free up E3/E5 licenses. We do have Custom Scripting turned off at the tenant level for Personal Sites -- so Powershell was not a successful test. This is more of research phase -- but I haven't found any concrete documentation that says Mover.IO can not be used for internal migrations. I also have not been able to successfully get it to work with internal migrations (I have with migrations from Tenant A to Tenant B)
Take a look on mover.io. It's a free Microsoft service. I'm doing exactly that kind of copies with it. Currently manually triggered, but schedule is also possible. It's more a migration tool, hope it fits though.
I've been part of such a migration once. No 3rd party software - all manually as per microsoft docs. Emails were OKish with some quirks like starred emails dont transfer to flagged.
Office type files were a giant PITA. We ended up doing it manually for all the users to make sure the Office formats got converted. All sharing was broken.
I saw that Microsoft has acquired the Mover tool for cloud to cloud migrations. You should probably check it out as I am reading it does a much better job with file migrations than doing so manually. https://mover.io/
Not in K12 so I don't know what Schoology is. If its just paths in an SQL table, maybe you can run an SQL script to change the base path in the URIs in the column. Probably should pilot it first though...
For e-mail: MigrationWiz. Relatively cheap, lots of auditing, very good support from the vendor (BitTitan). I've migrated tons of mailboxes in my carreer and I don't think I would ever go use another product, unless Microsoft steps up and makes a product themselves that's at least as good.
For other data like Sharepoint: mover.io from Microsoft.
I'll second that mover.io was a go to for cloud to cloud migrations until they were bought by Microsoft. They're still great, but now you can only use them for migrating in to Microsoft, not out.
For DropBox to SharePoint migration, Mover is a great way to go.
Mover is very good but you need to follow the instructions well.
https://mover.io/guides/migrating-office-365-to-office-365/
Its designed to tra safer data, not accounts. You won't find many systems which would do that, even costed paid for solution's.
You will always need to prepair the new environment first.
I'm in the middle of a G Suite > MS365 migration right now using this guide and this video.
First I ran the User Reports > Apps usage report in G Suite (now Google Workplace), downloaded to csv then sorted the Gmail storage used (MB) column from largest to smallest so I could see the mailbox sizes I would be dealing with. I then started with a test migration batch containing my own mailbox (2 GB - I am good about managing my email) and a somewhat large mailbox (35 GB) as a benchmark test. That migration took 22 hrs to run. I then decided to start with the smaller mailboxes (zero to < 1 GB) in incrementing batches of 5, then 8, then 10, and so on just so I could get a feel for the run times for a given amount of users. I settled on batches of 10 users until I hit the big ones.
I have a total of about 80 users to migrate and have 34 across 5 migration batches so far. About 3/4 of the mailboxes are < 10 GB so I expect those to go pretty fast, less than a few hours. Most of the remaining 1/4 range from 11 to 35 GB, and the remaining include a two with 50 GB and one at 98 GB (the CEO). I'll do those in their own batches. I also had to make sure I bought the Exchange Plan 2 for the bigger mailboxes in MS365 since they are over the 50 GB limit of what's included with a MS365 Business Standard license.
After the mailboxes are migrated and users are using Outlook only, I need to come up with a plan for Google Drive migration to OneDrive. I didn't know about mover.io so I'll check it out. Otherwise I was going to have users download files from Google Drive then copy to OneDrive. Just not sure what to do about shared files in Google Drive.
Curious if you ever found an elegant way to do this?
Also, you can login to the Sharesync File Server app as a particular user. I have a '' user. Then have other users share folders with that user. It would get clunky since you'd have to have each user put their data in a singular folder called 'username's stuff', and then share that with the fileserver user.
At least you'd be able to use mover.io to slam files into M365 where you want them, and it'll retry the failures. Everytime I've tried to you use Onedrive to upload a bunch of files for a user it's had some sync failures.
OK, I didn't do IMAP. I went back and looked. I used the new Exchange Online Admin portal migration, which used a Google API setup to do the migration.
Perform a G Suite migration | Microsoft Docs
Then I used mover.io to do that Drive to ODFB migration, which also went well for everyone. The only issues I ran into were on my mailbox (22 items, none of which I cared about) and very large stuff I was keeping in Drive (takeout exports, massive photo library). I migrated the stuff that I had in there to SharePoint in a lot of cases and a few specialized systems or Azure storage for some of the other things. All I have now is exactly what should be in ODFB: my files.
Hi, I work on Egnyte's MSP team. We often recommend using Cloud Fastpath by Tervela https://www.cloudfastpath.com/
mover.io used to be great, but they were bought by Microsoft, and now its only function is for migrating to Microsoft products, and it no longer supports moving away.

At the time Microsoft hadn't procured mover.io so I haven't had the chance to compare. I'd certainly recommend using that if it's free and does the job.
ShareGate has more features than facilitating migrations for SharePoint and so it depends if you're also looking for reporting capabilities as well as Teams management, etc.
mover.io gets weird with large amounts of data and starts failing. While it isn't optimal, if you can break it up into several smaller transfers, I have had 100% success with that. - source: migrating an insane amount of user files to OneDrive
mover.io is a separate tool that Microsoft bought out and also offers it for free. SPMT can do both SP to SP as well as File Server to SP where I think Mover's original specialty was to go from cloud service to cloud service, not necessarily just migrating to SharePoint.
I have used mover for a file server to SP migration and it worked well but I didn't find the UI super intuitive, paths were a little odd. That said their support got back to me quickly and straightened me out.

Try https://mover.io. Microsoft bought the product, so it's not third party. It's a pretty easy way to see and move files from OneDrive to SharePoint, and vise-versa in addition to and from other cloud file shares like Box and DropBox.
Just set up and authorize two connectors for your Office 365. Automatically add all the users, and then run a scan for all the users. It'll pump out a report that'll tell you all of the files and sizes for each user. If you assume that the user signed in to use it by sharing something, their total file size or count won't be zero. Between AAD logins and filtering you can get a pretty good idea of who's using.
Once you get an idea of where everything you can organize it. I'm using Mover.io all the time (unfortunately) because the legal team at my work doesn't really care to understand the distinction between OneDrive, SharePoint Online and Box so I do a lot of file moving between the three.
Yeah, it seems crazy that Microsoft straight up tell you to use a third party tool as they don't have the functionality in house.
They did acquire https://mover.io/ at the back end of last year for the user data so hopefully there's skills been brought on there than could eventually lead towards something for mailboxes.
Option 1: Mover.io (Owner by Microsoft, is free to use)
Option 2: Free SP Migration tool in SP Admin Center ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/introducing-the-sharepoint-migration-tool )
Option 3: Pay for Migration tool, various companies provide Migration tools...
and many others...

I believe the content for Sharepoint and Teams will be migrated, but I don't imagine Groups and Teams configurations will likewise be migrated: https://mover.io/guides/migrating-office-365-to-office-365/#migration-faq
I imagine there are more robust and full-featured solutions out there with less moving parts.

As it's pretty common in modern days - not everything is on the surface, i.e. published in the portal. For OneDrive and stuff MS is getting ready for yall this thing - https://mover.io/ .
buttitan is just one selling snow in the winter.
That link was just working the other day I posted it, now I see it's not. I tried searching the internet wayback machine but didn't find it. It had really good content too... Sorry it's gone.
This link is a very similar guide using the Office 365 connector to make it happen. Also has some of the planning behind the migration.
Here are some options that may work for you. It may not check every box, but should help.

I do have several cloud service accounts like Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox, etc., the certain issue I've encountered is that I have to migrate, for example, Google Drive files to Dropbox, and meanwhile, I do not want to download and re-upload my data manually, so I tried quite a lot third-party tools to achieve what I want. I'll list some of them which I think are suitable.
Im graduating and my school decided to change their emails which left me spending a whole day trying to transfer onenote notebooks (tried mover.io. downloading files etc all which didn't work)
This is by far the easiest way!! lifesaver especially for mac peoople
Yea, unfortunately it does, you have to pretty much move all your current (at)edu.uwaterloo onedrive files and folders to an (at)uwaterloo.ca address; it's really easy, but needs a bit if you have over 30G of files
Not sure how far along you got with changing over the one drive, but I tried it over the past few hours and that mover.io service is the slowest piece of shit. What I did instead was:
Then boom, all your files will sync to the cloud drive.
Or plugin a usb drive and move the iCloud photo to the usb drive. The only other product I know of is https://mover.io which moves files into OneDrive but as Apple is a walled garden they don’t provide api for anyone to gain access - they don’t want you to leave
It is solely to MS Services now, since they bought them out. Anyone who started a migration priority to the buy out is entitled to finish it. You can find this information on their website. https://mover.io/guides/
>Also, I should've been more specific: He is not on 365, the PST is just an offline PST data file that he's had for years. It exists only on his laptop ssd.
Wow, I completely misread/misunderstood the post and I apologize.
It's not meant for an offline PST data file.
Use the official GSuite tool for that - https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gsmmo
You will be able to select the PST file, but there is a possibility the PST file is corrupt.

I have not used it but Microsoft owns https://mover.io/ which is a tool to move from on-prem to pretty much every cloud platform. I believe Sharepoint also has something to natively move from on-prem into it.
You can sync Sharepoint libraries to computers using OneDrive. Users can access Sharepoint directly through Explorer.
You can backup Sharepoint with Synology for free. I have never done that either.
You can use OneDrive as an alternate. Every User gets 1tb onedrive, and if they hit the upper limit, can go up to 5 tb, and if they hit that limit, up to 10 etc...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/change-user-storage
Then use the mover.io app /u/ironbird207 mentions below to transfer the data in.
I would initially say no, but this link says there is a source connector for SP on-premises. https://mover.io/connectors/. I signed up for a mover account a week ago and I got tired of waiting for the verification email.
Sharegate does for sure.
actually, Drive API documentation (v3) says filesize is only available for binary content. v2 documentation says it's not available for GDoc format.
> The size of the file in bytes. This field is only populated for files with content stored in Google Drive; it is not populated for Google Docs or shortcut files.
if you ran the command i provided above, you should be able to filter using Excel/Sheets. Alternatively, you can try below in your command to include
showmimetype gdoc gsheet gform gpresentation
If filesize can't be determined using GAM, it will require some ingenuity. (download using GAM, then reupload for the users using something like rclone, map the existing permissions using GAM, and then let mover.io handle the migration and permission re-mapping in OneDrive). Their pre-sales folks were pretty responsive prior to Microsoft acquisition, you can ask if there are any other recommended ways to do it (I am sure you are not alone).
There is one glimer of hope! Mover.io
https://mover.io/guides/migrating-google-drive-to-sharepoint/#how-is-g-suite-drive-different
MS just bought them so it will be free. The downside is that its not available in my region until some as yet undetermined date in the future. :-(
The original goal behind Azure File Sync was to synchronize files from on premise to Azure File Shares to allow for backups, tiering (expanding storage space), and replication between sites. This was not intended for end users in an office to have direct access via Azure.
However, recently, they added the ability to enable a File Share to use Azure AD, but the permissions with on prem (NTFS) are not compatible so you have to redo any permissions. Users accessing it isn't too difficult if users are logging into an Azure AD joined machine, but gets a little odd if they're not.
The best experience with Microsoft with users in the Cloud is SharePoint Online and use OneDrive Sync to give them a classic folder structure on the local system. Also, MS just recently acquired Mover.io to make the move to SharePoint easier.
I logged into my mover.io account and still see Drive as a source and destination. Was there a date in which this will no longer be supported; or perhaps for new signups? It still listed on the website too. https://mover.io/connectors/google-drive/
I've been speaking with Mover.io - just found out they were acquired by Microsoft and are no longer supporting platforms other than Office 365, so I might be back to looking at CloudMigrator.
We use CloudMigrator for almost 99% of our migrations as do many other partners. This is mainly for full domain migrations including mail, calendar, etc.
CloudFastpath is just for moving data and might have the most features for drive migrations
Mover.io does all like cloudmigrator and would likely be the easiest to get setup and use
rclone if you want something foss and like cli
I took a company with a 2TB WinServer share and converted them to this method about 2 months ago. It works really good.
A few things to keep in mind:
Those were the highlights of the concerns we hit.,
We used a service called "mover.io" (google it) to migrate, and it worked great.
Please have a look at the following links
https://mover.io/guides/migrating-file-servers-to-google-drive/
https://sadasystems.com/cloud-solutions/google-cloud/g-suite/file-server-migration-google-drive
One of our techs wrote a perl script to do this a few years ago:
https://github.com/scsd/Drive-Upload
Alternatively, if you want something with full-featured support, there's services like mover.io that may be worth considering!
I'm doing this for my personal stuff so I had a bit of a look into things and came across https://mover.io/ at $20 per user and $1 per gig it's not cheap and a bit too pricey for personal use, but could be worth a look depending on how much data you have in OneDrive?
Personally I ended up using robocopy /mir and just ground my teeth as I waited for the 350+ gigs of data to upload on my home connection. It probably wouldn't be hard to script a similar approach, but again depending on the amount of data and your connection(s) it could cripple your internet connection.
Well, if you're looking to transfer smaller files, likes less than 1 GB or around that, you can use autogeneratelink.com to get a direct link to the MEGA file. Then you can use this tool to upload that file to Google drive using the direct link.
EDIT: There is no direct method to do this, if that's what you're asking. Mover.io does allow transfer of large files between cloud services, but it doesn't support MEGA.
My recommendation: use https://mover.io/ or http://wappwolf.com/dropboxautomator and set up a link between dropbox or google drive and your FTP server.
OR, setup an owncloud (http://owncloud.org) on the server and sync it with a local folder. Owncloud is like dropbox, but you use your own servers.
I don't see any mention of a privacy policy or anything on the site. What exactly does Mover get access to and how long does it have access for?
Edit: Found it. Leaves a great deal to be desired from a service like this.
