Moving OneDrive files to SharePoint document library
Hi All, I'm looking at moving OneDrive files to a document library in SharePoint.The OneDrive has some nested folders.I found out I can move files using the OneDrive UI but read I can only move 500mb...
Your options here are the following:
(1) A PowerShell script to move the files as you have said
(2) Download all your files from ODFB and migrate to SPO using the SharePoint Migration Tool. The downside of this approach is that you will lose the versions of the documents
(3) Use a third party migration tool

Ill just throw my support behind option 2. For internal moves like this, we found the SPO Migration tool great, pretty easy to use, and best of all free.

The issue I have with this issue is that I have to first download all the files before using the SPO Migration tool to move it. Is this the case as I don't see onedrive as source when tried using the toolSMAT was developed for users to migrate files from an OnPrem File server to SharePoint online. It was not meant to migrate SharePoint online to SharePoint online. So, yea, if files exist in your OneDrive Library (SharePoint), then you would need to have them in a folder on your machine/server. This way your making it look like a file server, kinda.
P.S. Im sorry, i need to back and read , but why doesn't the "move" command work? Do you get errors even if you move 1 file at a time? Just wondering
