Users convert OST files to PST for several practical reasons. One primary reason is to create a backup of emails and other data, ensuring accessibility even if the Exchange server is down or if the OST file becomes corrupted. Additionally, converting to PST allows for easier data migration when changing email systems or accounts.


Another reason is that PST files can be easily transferred and accessed on different computers, whereas OST files are tied to a specific Outlook profile. For efficient conversion, using a reliable tool like the Shoviv OST to PST Converter can simplify the process, allowing users to convert large OST files without losing any data.
