The Big Four of the Internet Come Together to Help You Move Data Between Platforms

Although competition is the best thing that these companies know how to do, today they show that it is not the only thing they can do, because they are very powerful and help thousands of people, as they have shown with the new creation of the DTP data transfer project.

Google Facebook Microsoft and Twitter came together to develop a project that will allow users to transfer your data and information to other services in a simple way and without too many complications.

The DTP can perform the data change from one platform to another thanks to the open information transfer code, connected to the APIs (Application Programming Interface) of the different services making the transfer a success.

All this is happening thanks to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which forces Web services to offer the possibility of C & # 39; is for this reason that it has occurred and that many applications Also implemented as a download function.

With the project of data transfer it will not be necessary to have technical knowledge to be able to transmit the data of a service to another, because it does not matter if the files are in strange and inaccessible formats, because people will always be able to do it.

This way, for example, it will be possible to create a new Twitter account from the data you have on Facebook or it also works with an Outlook account and allows you to get the emails that are in Gmail .

can help thousands of people who have not been encouraged to make account changes because of the difficulty and low understanding they have about it, and although the DTP is in full creation and only the developers of [19459] 004] GitHub can use it, it is planned to be extended to all possible users.

According to this, the DTP supports the transfer of data for photos, mail, contacts, calendar and tasks.

For his part, Damien Kieran, head of data protection on Twitter, explained how this function can be beneficial:

"It aims to form society to create tools that allow people to move freely their information through the web, without barriers. "

Regarding its operation, there is a mini book that explains it in detail, but in a general way we can say that a user requires the transfer of data from one platform to another, the portability mechanism will use the existing APIs of the first service and their respective mechanisms of authorization to access them.

It is so that they will be translated. It will be transferred to the new service thanks to its API

This sounds a bit arduous, but in reality it is very simple, since the user only needs to access at the configuration and indicate that he wants to transfer the information to a certain service, accept the respective access permissions to the necessary data that come out and are made, that is practically everything.

This example demonstrates that the saying of the union is strength, is totally true.
