Access → Cloud Migration

Move Access Database to Cloud
without the downtime

Migrate your Microsoft Access database to Supabase, Azure SQL, or AWS RDS. End the "database locked" errors, enable remote work, and escape the 2GB file-size prison.

✕Before

Network share drops → database corrupts.

Five users open the file → everyone locked out.

✓After

Real cloud backend, unlimited users, remote access, nightly backups — your data finally safe.

Cloud migration process

01Discovery: schema analysis, multi-user audit, 2GB/corruption risk check
02Target selection: Supabase vs Azure SQL vs SharePoint — picked on cost, users, and VBA complexity
03ETL + validation: automated extraction, type mapping, row-count and integrity verification
04Cutover: real-time sync during transition, then Access retires — zero downtime

Access to Cloud FAQ

Q: How do I move an Access database to the cloud?

A: Export the schema and data from the .mdb/.accdb file into a cloud database (PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, or SharePoint lists), then point users at the new backend. Our $179 tool automates this for PostgreSQL targets; DFY covers every target with validation and rollback.

Q: Can multiple users work at once after migration?

A: Yes — that is the main reason to migrate. Cloud backends handle concurrent users natively, ending the "database in an unexpected state" and file-lock errors of network-shared Access files.

Q: Will there be downtime during the move?

A: DFY migrations run real-time sync during transition and cut over when validated — users keep working in Access until the new system is proven. DIY tool migrations typically finish in minutes for small databases.

Q: Which cloud is cheapest for an ex-Access database?

A: Supabase (Postgres) usually wins on cost — generous free tier, then usage-based. Azure SQL fits M365 shops already paying for Microsoft. The $495 audit includes a costed recommendation for your size.
