Movebot review
Usage-priced migrations with broad connectors, permissions, versions, scheduling, and reports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Movebot is a cloud-based file migration tool for organizations moving data between cloud storage services, on-premises servers, and network-attached storage. It suits small businesses, mid-market teams, and enterprises that need to move personal or shared drives while retaining permissions and file versions. Administrators can run full or delta migrations, map users and locations, and review transfer activity through a web or desktop deployment. Mailbox transfers are also available for emails, contacts, and calendars.
Its usage-based pricing is straightforward. The File Migrations plan costs $0.75 per GB, with payment only for transferred data and no subscription; it includes files, shared drives, team drives, and personal data. The Mailboxes plan costs $15 per transfer and includes unlimited mailbox data, emails, contacts, and calendars. The connector ecosystem covers services such as Dropbox Business, Google Workspace, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Egnyte, Box, ShareFile, WebDAV, Google Drive, AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, FTP/SFTP, and other storage systems. Connector support differs by system and transfer direction, so migration planning should account for the specific source and destination pair.
Movebot’s operational depth is aimed at controlled, repeatable projects. It can automatically rename incompatible filenames, handle duplicates, preserve sharing permissions, migrate versions, and process only changed or newly created files through delta migrations. Daily job scheduling, scheduled transfer windows, CSV location mapping, migration scans, issue summaries, alerts, logs, and post-transfer reports give administrators visibility before and after a transfer. Choose Movebot when broad platform coverage and usage pricing fit your migration scope. Consider another option if you require a free plan, prefer subscription billing, or cannot provide a card for trial access.
