People keep asking on how to migrate data from other cloud storage to Infinte Scale.

This article explains by the example of Nextcloud how you would migrate your data from an running NC to Infinite Scale. A prerequisite is that you have Infinite Scale already set up and running on a different network address.

Be prepared that migration can take some time. Also, check the size of your data. This example was around 1.5 GiB of data, that obviously went fast.

Note that while testing this, occasionally the Nextcloud was returning a `04 not found` for some files. While the reason for that was not completely clear, it does not matter, because the rclone command can be repeated. It is clever enough to only copy what has changed!

Obviously this method has a few downsides, such as:
- This migration requires a little of "quiet time" for migrating data.
- It is a user by user method where provisioning of users has to be done manually.
- Only data is migrated, and there is probably a data size limit in real life using this way.
- Private- and public shares are not migrated
- The trashbin is not migrated
- The trashbin, versions, comments and favorites are not migrated
These are shortcomings but this is a good first step to start investigating. The other parts will be sorted as we move along.
