Posted on by Akhil

Pre-requisites :

  • Source O365 Admin credentials
  • Target O365 Admin credentials
  • User details to be migrated (Email)
  • Same user with valid license in target domain
  • Exact replica of source SharePoint sites in the target domain (If required to migrate shared libraries)

Procedure :

Mover is a tool to migrate data from various cloud storage providers to Office 365 quickly, securely, and with little hassle. Mover supports migration from over a dozen cloud service providers – including Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, and Google Drive – into OneDrive and SharePoint, enabling seamless file collaboration across Microsoft 365 apps and services, including the Office apps and Microsoft Teams. The Mover team also brings deep expertise and migration technology, which advances Microsoft’s commitment to providing organizations of all sizes with the right tools, people and partners to successfully migrate to the Microsoft Cloud.

  • Login to Microsoft mover with a valid licensed user credentials.
  • Authorize a new connector for the source > Office 365 (One drive or SharePoint Admin) > Authorize with source tenant admin credentials
  • This in return discovers total number of SharePoint sites and total number of O365 users in the tenant as shown below.
  • Authorize a new connector for the destination > Office 365 (One drive or SharePoint Admin) > Authorize with target tenant admin credentials
  • Once connected, this also discovers total number of SharePoint sites and total number of O365 users in the tenant.
  • Continue Migration setup > Add users > Either Automatically discover and add users or Upload migration csv file.
  • The format of the csv file is as shown below. The valid source as well as destination path values can be varied accordingly.
  • After a successful detection of the user, select the user or the migration to scan the user.
  • This process completes the scan of all available files in the source path and returns out the total size of the files.
  • After successful completion of scan, select the user and start migration.
