Move your assets off Dropbox
to S3, Cloudinary, or a DAM.
Migrate every file from Dropbox or Dropbox Business to AWS S3, Cloudinary, AEM, Bynder, or any of 12 destinations — with your folder tree preserved, every file verified against its content_hash, and a complete old→new map for your dropbox.com/s/ links. Read-only, resumable.
Why teams move assets off Dropbox
The four reasons we hear from Dropbox teams.
Dropbox is a sync tool, not a DAM
There are no tags, no taxonomy, no real metadata — just folders. Past a few thousand assets it becomes impossible to find, govern, or report on what you have, and a real object store or DAM is a big step up.
Shared-link sprawl that breaks
dropbox.com/s/... links are pasted across sites, decks, and emails — and they break the moment a file is moved or renamed. There is no governance, no analytics, and no clean way to swap them all at once.
Per-seat + storage costs keep climbing
Dropbox Business charges per seat plus storage tiers. As your asset library grows, you are paying collaboration-tool prices to warehouse files that belong in cheap object storage behind a CDN.
Consolidating into a real pipeline
Moving to a headless stack, or pulling brand assets out of scattered Dropbox folders into one DAM or bucket, means extracting files + structure cleanly at scale — exactly what the Dropbox web UI and desktop sync do not handle.
How it works
Four steps from connect to swapped links.
01
Connect Dropbox
Authorise with a read-only Dropbox token (personal, Business, or Team folders). Credentials are encrypted at rest and never logged. Your Dropbox is never modified.
02
Pick a destination
S3, Cloudinary, Azure Blob, GCS, AEM, Bynder, or any of 12 supported destinations.
03
Start the migration
Files stream directly from Dropbox. The folder tree maps to prefixes/collections and every file is verified against its content hash.
04
Swap your links
On completion you get a CSV of every dropbox.com/s/ link paired with its new URL — search-replace or redirect at the CDN. No broken links.
Structure-aware translation
Your folder tree and shared links survive the move — not just the files.
Dropbox is a sync tool, so the only structure it gives you is the folder path — and the brittle dropbox.com/s/ links scattered across your sites. Univaultport maps the folder tree onto destination key prefixes (or DAM collections), verifies every file against its Dropbox content hash, and hands you an old→new link map so nothing breaks at cutover.

What you actually get
Migration infrastructure, not a desktop sync.
Folder structure preserved
Your Dropbox folder tree maps to destination key prefixes or DAM collections by default — or flatten/re-prefix while you migrate. Deterministic mapping, so you always know where each file landed.
Shared-link map exported
You get a CSV of every dropbox.com/s/ link paired with its destination URL. Search-replace across your content, or redirect at the CDN layer — no dead links after you decommission Dropbox.
Content-hash integrity
Every file is verified against its Dropbox content hash after transfer, so you get byte-for-byte proof nothing was truncated or corrupted in the move — not a hopeful "it probably copied."
Read-only + audited
We only call the Dropbox API to read files — never move, rename, or delete — so your live Dropbox is untouched. Per-file audit row from Dropbox fetch to destination ACK, with retries recorded.
Where Dropbox assets can land
Move to object storage, a CDN, or a DAM.
S3 + a CDN is the cheapest warehouse; Cloudinary adds on-the-fly transforms; AEM or Bynder gives you a real DAM with taxonomy. Univaultport carries your Dropbox folder structure and integrity-checks every file so nothing is lost or corrupted in the move.
+ 6 more (Contentful, Google Drive, WordPress, FTP, SFTP, local).
Simple, usage-based pricing
Pay only for what you migrate.
No subscription, no per-asset fee, no minimum — and free credits on signup so you can run a real migration end-to-end before you pay anything. See the pricing page for current rates and enterprise options.
Dropbox migration FAQ
The questions that come up before every Dropbox move.
- Most Dropbox accounts are a few GB to a few TB, which completes in hours to a couple of days. We list and fetch files via the Dropbox API in parallel and stream them straight to the destination, so wall-clock time is set by destination throughput, not Dropbox. The migration is resumable — a 500k-file account is just more pages of the same loop, and a dropped connection picks up where it left off.
