Here is how Google, Microsoft and other companies are helping you

To form the Data Transfer Project(DTP) all the engines such as Microsoft, Google, Twitter and Facebook have partnered with them and a new initiative whose goal it is to make transferring your data between services much more comfortable. What is the aim of DTP? DTP aims to create a platform which is open-source that apps and services can adapt, ultimately stoking competition by giving consumers the ability to quickly try out new services while keeping data they’ve built upon another.

What does Data Transfer Project (DTP) do? DTP helps the users to extend the data probability beyond the downloading a copy of your data from your service provider, and it also provides the customer with the ability to transfer data in and out of any participating provider directly,” the project’s website states.

Everyone takes an advantage for one or the other, therefore, DTP takes a good advantage of the existing APIs and authorization mechanisms for each service, transferring the data supplied into a standard format, then moving it into the new service’s API, in fact it can be used for everything from email to media like photos and music and from contact information.

Active development is significant for the work therefor, DTP is also currently in very active development but it not hard to see how useful an open standard for portable data could be for consumers. Let us brief you more with the example, Through DTP the task of porting playlists between music services; which is currently a significant barrier for many likeways giving another email app a try could be made much easier by automating the transfer of your contact data.

So therefore eventually adopting DTP all of this depends on vital services and however given the open nature of the project, it’s easy to envision more companies hopping on board.
