• The on-premise to cloud migration tool offers migration from your File System, SharePoint on-premise, and various ECM systems (FileNet,eRoom, Documentum, Open Text LiveLink, DocuShare, eDocs, HP trim, Lotus Notes, and many more systems) to any cloud, for example, Google Drive migration.

Let's see how we can transfer the data from one platform to another.

About StorX:

StorX is a decentralized cloud storage network that empowers users to store their data securely in the cloud. Each file uploaded on StorX is split and encrypted into multiple fragments to autonomous storage nodes operated by individual operators worldwide. Designed as a collection of independent storage networks, no particular operator has complete access to your data. StorX is faster than legacy centralized storage providers and allows users to save substantial costs compared to a centralized cloud. StorX enables users with spare storage capacity to lease space and earn great returns in SRX tokens.
