Hi everyone, since mover.io is now retired, we are looking for an alternative to copy large (!) files (>10GB) and a huge amount of data in total (500GB-1TB) that are already in our sharepoint direct...

Try Azure Data Factory , it is a cloud-based data integration service that can be used to orchestrate and automate data movement and transformation. You can create a pipeline in Azure Data Factory to copy the files from your SharePoint directory to Azure Blob Storage. It supports copying large files and can preserve the folder structure during the migration process.

Or try third-party tools that meets your needs to copy in direct way from SPO\Onedrive to Azure blob . Consider researching reputable and secure options and I can list you some , check Sharegate , Gs Richcopy360 and Cloudfuze .

nassoca Thank you!! I was into the process of creating an azure app to copy data from SPO until I received the message of https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/retirement-announcement-for-azure-acs (popped up in the SPO App connection-section, where you enter the app credentials)
Is there a new/different workaround, that I'm missing to create this pipeline? Their must be another way, since third party tools must (somehow) use the same environment. I'm browsing the documents provided by Microsoft (like Modernization guidance) but it's a jungle -.-

As mentioned, we are trying to avoid third party tools. Unfortunately they won't make sense to us, as their pricing is too high for our purpose. (Instead of spending thousands of $ a year to shift data to azure blob we could simply leave the data in a hot storage, and still be below these costs).
