Before moving 500GB of cloud data, shouldn't you be able to see what will happen?

Before moving 500GB of cloud data, shouldn't you be able to see what will happen?

Cloud migration sounds simple:

Source → Destination → Start

Until you're dealing with hundreds of GB or thousands/millions of files.

Then questions start appearing:

What exactly will be copied?

How much data will move?

Are there existing files at the destination?

Will anything be overwritten?

Are there conflicts?

That's why we've been working on a Migration Wizard with Dry Run Preview in Syncrix.

The idea is to let you inspect the planned operation before actually transferring your data.

Plan → Preview → Validate → Transfer

It can be useful for migrations such as:

Google Drive → OneDrive
Dropbox → Google Drive
OneDrive → S3
Account A → Account B

I think this is an important distinction between a simple file copier and a serious migration tool.

When you're moving a lot of data, visibility before execution matters.

What would you want a cloud migration tool to show you before you hit “Start”?
