OneDrive Data Location
Dear Microsoft 365 Business Experts,
Thank you for reading this question. I have created my Microsoft 465 Business Basic account (.onmicrosoft.com) and I chose Canada as this account's country.
When I logged into Microsoft 365 admin centre, under Data Location, the Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams' data is stored in Canada, which is good. However, when I check OneDrive, it doesn't specify the data's geographical location.
Is there a way to set the data in OneDrive's geography to be in Canada? The company I am working for requires all the data to be stored in Canada.
Thanks!

Hey Kalimoor,
Thank you for contacting microsoft.
If you are looking to move your tenant data to a new datacenter region,
I have some major steps below you can follow :
- Eligibility for Data Migration:
- Only existing Microsoft 365 commercial customers who have selected a country eligible for the new datacenter region can request to migrate applicable data.
- The program is available to tenants assigned an eligible country code and supports migrating customer data at rest for eligible workloads.
- To check your eligibility, please visit Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo Availability to confirm if your country is part of the supported regions.
- How to Request a Data Move:
- If you're eligible, you can request the data move directly from the Microsoft 365 admin center:
- Navigate to Settings > Org Settings > Organization profile > Data Location.
- If your organization has data residency requirements, select the checkbox to request a migration and save the changes.
- For detailed instructions, refer to this link: Microsoft 365 Data Residency Move Program.
- If you're eligible, you can request the data move directly from the Microsoft 365 admin center:
