Hi
We have Hybrid.
We always create user and mailbox on prem then migrate to O365 .
We do this both for regular an shared mailbox.
Never had a problem.
In case regular mailbox is in o365 and needs to be converted to shared mailbox.
We migrate is to onprem convert to shared with the command and then migrate it back to O365.
Dont know if there is any other option?
Would be nice just to convert in O365 !

Hi David,
You can convert in Office 365 the shared mailbox on the Exchange Admin Center or Exchange Online Powershell.
You do not need to migrate the mailbox to on-premises.
