Do all versions of 365 support importing PST files from Outlook desktop?
Just add a pst to desktop outlook and copy the files/folders from it over to your Office 365 mailbox
Unfortunately, it was not mentioned on the main topic / post. I thought user is talking about production and scale move.
I agree that for a single PST move to cloud for persoanl account, best option would be to import the PST file to Outlook and create a new folder on the mailbox and move the PST content gradually to the folder on the mailbox. It might take some time but it also depens on the internet connection and the size of the PST file.
Thank you
Dav,
Deleted Fellas, I very much appreciate your willingness to help. Yes, this is a personal account. My desktop version of email is Outlook within Office 2013. I have a number of folders such as Home, Vacation, Mom, etc. I wish to duplicate all of the Outlook folders and contents to a cloud version of 365.
Regrettably I am unclear on some of the responses.
@Dav1988 advises to "import the PST file to Outlook". I know how to export from Outlook but don't understand what is meant by import the PST to outlook.
The second tip is to "create a new folder on the mailbox and move the PST content gradually to the folder on the mailbox". I'll guess that means to create a folder within the cloud version of 365 called Vacation, for example, and then from the desktop Outlook open my Vacation folder, copy all of the contents and then paste into the cloud version. Am I interpreting your guidance correctly?
Thank you all for any clarification you can provide.

We are more than happy to help you here :-)
Regarding PST Import > I thought your folders such as Home, Vacation, Mom, etc are on a PST file and you want to send them to cloud mailbox Office365 , that is why I asked you to import the PST file to your Outlook. Anyways, let's forget about importing for now...
First I would like to know , how would access your Office365 Email Account? Via Browser (OWA) or Desktop version of Outlook? What kind of license you have on your account? E1 ,E3 ?
If you are using Office365 Emails account only via browser, E1 license (OWA) you won't be able to move PST or Folders and Etc from your machine to the cloud Emails , you need help from Global Administrator on your Office365 environment.
That is Correct
