Once it is fully implemented, it'll use services' APIs and authorisation mechanisms to pull the original data and then uses "service specific adapters" to transfer the data into a common format and push it to the target service using the target's API. For a long time, tech companies have been boasting the ability to export information from services but have never offered a way to put it into another; the DTP will hopefully fix that.

Craig Shank, VP for Corporate Standards, Microsoft, commented on the project's open source nature: "This open source project will create new capabilities for direct data portability between participating service providers. While users can often download copies of their data to a local or online storage location, this project facilitates direct portability of user data between cloud services. The Data Transfer Project's goal is to extend data portability in the cloud, allowing users to directly transfer their data in and out of any participating provider. As an open-source project, it is designed to encourage as broad a participation by as many service providers as possible."
