We are planning to migrate approximately 40 TB of data to Box by June 2027. However, according to the topic below, there appears to be a data transfer limit of 1 TB per month.

=======================================

If this limit applies to a single user subscription, transferring 40 TB would take 40 months, which would not meet our schedule.

 

For example, if we purchase 10 Box user licenses and have each user transfer data separately, would it be possible to transfer 10 TB per month, allowing us to complete the migration of 40 TB in about 4 months?

 

Alternatively, is there another subscription plan, licensing model, or migration approach that would allow us to migrate 40 TB of data within approximately six months?We are assuming that the data transfer will be performed over the Internet.
