Sharepoint Migration Tool migrates Data only to standard channel
hi everybody,
we are starting to migrate our on-prem Fileservers share by share to Sharepoint/Teams
i created a Teams, added some memberes, than created a private channel in that team. i than started a migration with the sharepoint migration tool and was not able to select the private channel as a destination for the migration process.
i than created another channel, this time a standard channel, and now i was able to select the channel as destination.
does the sharepoint migration tool only work with standard channels? and if so how can i migrate to private channel if needed as i can not convert a standard channel to a private one?

aesposito1982 Private Channels create their own, separate SharePoint site, I haven't tried the migration tool, but you will need to select a different destination site.
Hi and thx for the reply. in the meanwhile i discovered that u can still migrate directy to a private channel using as destination the sharepoint site
https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/TeamsName-Channel-Name/Documents
BUT
it will copy my Data in the Documents folder and i still need to move the Data in the appropriate directory to make it visible in Teams. why? how can i migrate directly to the directory?
Hi! I'm having the same issue with private channel and try to do what you suggested. I have a question, how can you get the destination site url. When I choose open in SharePoint from Teams channel it always gives me an URL with "/teams/" inside. Like:
https://companyname.sharepoint.com/Teams/TeamsName-Channel-Name/Documents
