Copy OneDrive to OneDrive

A simple Administrator driven wizard is provided to bulk migrate the Documents library content from the OneDrive for Business sites in one Office 365 tenant into the appropriate OneDrive for Business Documents library in another Office 365 tenant.  In order to successfully configure and run this operation, you will need to be able to authenticate against both SharePoint Admin Center portals in Office 365 using a Global Administrator login.  A mapping file may also be needed in order to resolve the user accounts between the source and destination tenants.

This operation has the following requirements for use:

·The account used to perform the migration needs to be a Site Collection Administrator in the source Office 365 tenant.

·The account used to perform the migration needs to be a Site Collection Administrator in the target Office 365 tenant.

·The person performing the migration will need to know the relationship (mapping) between the user accounts in the source and target Office 365 tenants.

·Each user account must have either a SharePoint or OneDrive license assigned to it in Office 365.
 

Once the requirements above are satisfied, you can proceed with utilizing the bulk upload functionality.

1.Switch to the Drives tab in the Essentials console and click the button "Copy Tenant" located in the ribbon, and select Copy OneDrive to OneDrive.

If the user is valid in Office 365 but does not currently have a OneDrive for Business site, please check the option labeled "Create personal sites for the selected users" which will instruct the software to provision the necessary sites.

9.Click Next to continue.

10.The final page provides a few options to configure how the content portion of the operation should be configured.

Content Options
onedrive to onedrive content options


Copy Permissions - This option will enable the transfer of internally shared permissions from the source to OneDrive for Business. For source Google Drive migrations, this will include internally shared folder and item-level permissions. For source SharePoint My Site migrations, this will include internally shared site, list and item level permissions. For source Box migratons, this will include internally shared folder collaborators. For source Dropbox migrations, this will include internally shared folder permissions.

Copy Content - Enabling this option will copy all of the content from your Source to your Target. You can further specify if you would like to include all versions of the content from your source, or only the specified most recent versions.

 
Overwrite if file exists - In a version library, selecting the "Overwrite if File Exists" option does not overwrite the files already in SharePoint. SharePoint will append these to the list as new versions.
 
Incremental Copy - Incremental or delta migrations are an important and powerful option for large or ongoing projects and migration validation. Once enabled this option will migrate new, modified or versioned content from the source to the destination, capturing changes made by users during the previous migration. The value entered into the "Last" field will limit the amount of content examined to the time period specified, starting at present time. To perform an incremental migration, enter the amount of time to include and select the appropriate time period in days, weeks or months. Incremental migration is designed to be used in scenarios where the destination is not being modifed. To perform a delta migration, enter zero in the field and select days as the time period. Delta migration is designed to be used in scenarios where both the source and destination may be modified during the course of the migration. Please note that a delta migration compares dates between source and destination to determine which content to include, so it will take more time to process than an incremental migration.
 
NOTE: The Overwrite if File Exists parameter will be disabled if this option is selected.


Skip files greater than - When enabled, this option will skip any source files that are greater than the value specified (in MB or GB). An entry will be added to the post-migration log indicating which file(s) were skipped due to this configuration.
 
Migrate to Folder - When this option is enabled, you can create a (or use an existing) root folder structure in the destination library where your source content will be migrated. You will need to define the path like this example:
 
/My Source Content/2017
 
In the above example, the folder "My Source Content" and subfolder "2017" will be created in the root library of your destination and all source content will be migrated to this folder location.
 
Apply Filter - This feature allows the inclusion or exclusion of items by user defined criteria, such as date, size, file extension, file name, or file owner.
 
Note: the Apply Filter functionality is only applied to selected containers (i.e. site, lists or folders). If you select specific content (documents or items) then those objects will be included with the operation regardless of the filter applied. If you want to selectively include content, please select the container that this content resides in and apply the filter or apply the filter against the container first, then select the remaining content.
 
For the File Extension and Exclude Folders parameters only, you can use "," to set more than 1 criteria. For example, use this format "png,docx,pptx" to include multiple file extensions.
 
"Size" filter should have a whole number without decimals. It  is recommended that users not use the operators "Equal" and "Not Equal" to avoid difficulties with accurate file size, if the file size is greater than 1 MB.
 
Use the "Save Filter" option to save filter settings to a file and load them in different wizards or the Profile Manager.
Save Filter

Convert to Modern Site Template - Enable this option if you are migrating a classic Team Site (STS#0) that you want to be converted to a modern Team Site (STS#3) on the target.  If you do not check this box, the site will retain the classic Team Site template.

 
Copy Sub-Sites - Enable this option to include all sub-sites of the current site in this operation.


Include Content Versions - This option allows you to select whether versioning is enabled. you can choose to include all versions in the migration, or the most recent (specified) number of versions.
 
Copy Permissions - This option will enable the transfer of internally shared permissions from the source to OneDrive for Business. For source Google Drive migrations, this will include internally shared folder and item-level permissions. For source SharePoint My Site migrations, this will include internally shared site, list and item level permissions. For source Box migratons, this will include internally shared folder collaborators. For source Dropbox migrations, this will include internally shared folder permissions.

info

NOTE: If a new item or a new version of an item with unique permissions is being migrated and the Overwrite if file exists option is selected, this option must also be selected if you want to retain unique permissions on the target.  Otherwise, permissions will be inherited from the parent.

Copy Features- This option will transfer site level feature settings from the source to the target site.
 
Copy Workflows - This option allows you to copy SharePoint Out-of-Box Workflows, SharePoint Designer Workflows, and Nintex Workflow .
Note:

Copy Forms  - this option allows you to copy Classic Nintex Forms.
Note:
- The Nintex App must be installed before the migration
- Domains must be updated during the migration
- Rules must be preserved
- Collection to columns must be preserved
- The form must be published after migration
 
Copy Navigation - selecting this option will copy quick launch settings and top link bar settings from your source site to your target site, both for new and existing sites, for Modern and Classic team sites.  Note, that when enabled this setting works in 'replace mode', meaning it will delete all quick launch and top link bar settings on the target, and replace them entirely with the settings from the source - this means that if you have custom settings or libraries that do not exist on the source, these settings will be lost on the target.
 
Overwrite if file exists - In a version library, selecting the "Overwrite if File Exists" option does not overwrite the files already in SharePoint. SharePoint will append these to the list as new versions.

info

NOTE: If a new item or a new version of an item with unique permissions is being migrated and this option is selected, the Copy Permissions option must also be selected if you want to retain unique permissions on the target.  Otherwise, permissions will be inherited from the parent.

Incremental Copy - Incremental or delta migrations are an important and powerful option for large or ongoing projects and migration validation. Once enabled this option will migrate new, modified or versioned content from the source to the destination, capturing changes made by users during the previous migration. The value entered into the "Last" field will limit the amount of content examined to the time period specified, starting at present time. To perform an incremental migration, enter the amount of time to include and select the appropriate time period in days, weeks or months. Incremental migration is designed to be used in scenarios where the destination is not being modifed. To perform a delta migration, enter zero in the field and select days as the time period. Delta migration is designed to be used in scenarios where both the source and destination may be modified during the course of the migration. Please note that a delta migration compares dates between source and destination to determine which content to include, so it will take more time to process than an incremental migration.

info

NOTE: The Overwrite if File Exists and Copy Navigation parameters will be disabled if this option is selected.

Skip files greater than - When enabled, this option will skip any source files that are greater than the value specified (in MB or GB). An entry will be added to the post-migration log indicating which file(s) were skipped due to this configuration.
 
Re-Map Users - This option will allow you to map users between different domains or to change the user account in the target environment during copy.
 
Apply Filter - This feature allows the inclusion or exclusion of items by user defined criteria, such as date, size, file extension, file name, or file owner.
 
Note: the Apply Filter functionality is only applied to selected containers (i.e. site, lists or folders). If you select specific content (documents or items) then those objects will be included with the operation regardless of the filter applied. If you want to selectively include content, please select the container that this content resides in and apply the filter or apply the filter against the container first, then select the remaining content.
 
For the File Extension and Exclude Folders parameters only, you can use "," to set more than 1 criteria. For example, use this format "png,docx,pptx" to include multiple file extensions.
 
"Size" filter should have a whole number without decimals. It  is recommended that users not use the operators "Equal" and "Not Equal" to avoid difficulties with accurate file size, if the file size is greater than 1 MB.
