Moving content from file shares, other cloud services or older SharePoint Server versions into SharePoint and OneDrive in Microsoft 365. The content is copied; the source files are not deleted.

Opis

Microsoft Learn describes SharePoint migration as moving content into Microsoft 365, meaning SharePoint and OneDrive. It stresses that migrating copies the files: "Your source files are not deleted."

Tools named by Microsoft: the Migration Manager in the SharePoint admin center for sources such as Box, Dropbox, Google Workspace, Egnyte and file shares, and the SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) for SharePoint Server 2010, 2013 and 2016, including classic workflows and classic pages. The page says that the Mover tool is retired for admin-led migrations. For large amounts of data over a limited network connection, Microsoft names Azure Data Box. Classic SharePoint Server workflows should be rebuilt as Power Automate flows. A role called Migration Administrator lets a migration team work without full SharePoint admin access. At the time of checking, moving OneDrive content between tenants was possible with PowerShell, and a cross-tenant SharePoint solution was in private preview.

Third-party tools exist as well, for example ShareGate. Moving between two Microsoft 365 tenants is a separate topic, see tenant-to-tenant migration.
