This reliable conversion app allows you to export selected archived OST/PST files to move to a specific Office 365 or IMAP account. The conversion process requires no additional tools or in-depth technical skills.
The conversion tool mirrors your original files. It perfectly preserves your folder structure whether you export entire mailboxes or selected folders of PST/OST files.
Once a PST file is uploaded,the tool can export all data or specific folders. Its preview pane gives you the flexibility to filter and transfers only specific folders,which means no trash files.
For login to an Office 365 account in the software,it supports OAuth 2.0 sign-in support which means your data is never stored on disk. For IMAP account,the utility supports SSL/TLS.
This is a standalone application for which you don't need additional tools. The conversion program safely processes and exports archived Outlook files entirely on its own.
This tool supports an advanced Checkpoint File system to track the progress so it doesn't restart conversion from scratch. As the connection reestablishes,the tool simply resumes the conversion process right from where it has left off.
The tool uses SHA-256 content fingerprinting to track each item uploaded in the cloud. It immediately identifies duplicate items.
The licensed version validity is unlimited which means it can export unlimited OST/PST files.
This app can handle large mailboxes without freezing. However,it supports individual attachments up to 20 MB and can scale its timeout threshold for massive messages up to 50 MB.

Feedback from businesses for this professional program.

The free trial limits the number of emails you can convert,which I found a bit annoying. However,the overall function of the tool is smooth and user-friendly.

Before this tool,it was incredibly time-consuming for our team to move archived Outlook files. Now,it's just a matter of a few clicks. We are expecting some more advanced features down the road,but it works great.

Accidentally bought the wrong tool,but their instant support team helped me fix my mistake immediately and I got my money back. Great service!

Our team members are not IT experts,but none of them needed admin help to run this program. Plus,it backs up large files without freezing.

I had a lot of overlapping backup folders and was worried about uploading duplicates into our clean cloud mailboxes. This tool saved me a ton of time and effort by skipping the repeat emails automatically.
