How to migrate files using Mover
Ғылым және технология
This week a request! Mover, which is now part of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools that will help you move files from numerous platforms into Microsoft 365. It's quick, simple and very easy to understand. I hope you enjoy and as always please subscribe to help me grow my channel. Visit my website @ www.andymalone.org

New fan here Andy! I’m a Microsoft 365 guy and started my own MSP business centred around it, loving the content. Just watched your 7 tech tips and the groups deep dive vids. Think I’m going to watch all of your vids over the last few months now!!

This vid might be a year old but it really helped me on a tenant split scenario (csp support actually gave me this video's link). Thanks for your help :p

Thanks for doing Mover I had not seen it used before so very useful, even if it does appear to be a simple process it doesnt hurt to see it.

Thank you Andi for another wonderful knowledge share. Indeed its a very helpful informative video for us. Can you please give us a demo, on how to migrate multiple user accounts from Box to M365.
Thank you for your video does this work or what do you recommend to have business users copy/move their OneDrive files from 1 business organization to another?

What happens to permissions moving files from an on-prem file server? For example a department folder would have a group of users with permissions to access set up in local AD. A Userdoc folder might have a personal file with that user having permissions only.

All metadata is transferred, not changed other than date accessed etc ? Created date accurate? What about exif ? The columns for meta need be created prior to transfer? How about preview and search? I have uploaded files from an external hard drive and from a CDR both lost meta. Thank you

Hi what about deltas? Lets say we did a initial transfer of data and then 5 days later we did the cutover and ran the same task what happens to files already there? Is it intelligent enough to only move the deltas??

To be honest I recorded this video sometime ago, as a migration tool is designed to do just that my great. One is complete you are then supposed to switch across to the new system. It is not, as far as I know designed to use deltas.
Hi Andy, is it possible to use Mover to move SharePoint Online data from one tenant to another? Looking for Microsoft options for this this as I can't use 3rd party apps like Quest. Thanks

I think so, but you can also use ShareGate
At the start of transfer, does it consume local ram? Or the cloud is doing its job? And at what speed?

Hello Andy, Learned a lot from your videos. For a client I developed some sharepoint sites in my developer environment. Can I move these sites fromt my developer environment to the customer sharepoint environment? Hope to hear from you.

Yes, you can use mover to move SharePoint cloud environments. However if your dev environment is on a Windows SharePoint server, then you will need to use the SharePoint migration tool which is available from the migration tab in SharePoint online. I hope this helps and thanks for reaching out and good luck.

Another question: Once i move the different folder which is like network file on local server to sharepoint online, let says by department : HeadOffice, Adminsitration, Accountant... Do i create seperate sharepoint site for each department and assign them to sharepoint group built in with their respective assigned permission or do i create teams security group to assigned permission

@@ashikdindoyal2475 to be honest in terms of structuring I don’t really want to advise you. As you will probably know your business far better than I will. But structuring by department, our location is very useful. In terms of different SharePoint sites. Take a look at Microsoft 365 groups, when you converted to become a team it creates channels, which in turn also creates subsites in SharePoint. This can be a very modern way of structuring your organisation as well as SharePoint data. Either way, I wish you the very best of luck.

Hello Mr.Andy! Things have gotten nowhere and I'm here trying to get a hold of the specifics. In a nutshell, If you leave a family subscription for which you ain't an organizer, what would happen to the data in onedrive (the data is a lot so downloading and uploading it anywhere is just not the way)? Moreover, I want to change the primary alias as that Gmail isn't functional anymore.

Family! Too be honest I don 't know. I only work with the business editions of Microsoft 365. But to use the Mover tool you would need access to both the incoming and outgoing Onedrive accounts. The family edition will probably have very limited admin tools.

@@iunderstand118 Yes you can but! You will probably find it incredibly slow to move very large volumes of data across. Microsoft however, do provide a service where you can ship drives to them directly and an engineer will upload the data for you. Of course this carries a fee, details of which can be found on the Microsoft website. I’m sorry I didn’t have better news for you. Thanks for your questions though.
