OneDrive to OneDrive for Business File Migration?

Wondering if Microsoft has considered allowing users of both OneDrive as well as Office 365 the ability to move/copy files from OneDrive to OneDrive for Business? This would be extremely useful for users who have both services.
  • There is no way to move/copy files from OneDrive to OneDrive for Business using the Web UI, if this is what you mean. You should use other techniques, such as moving/copying files between the locally synced folders.

      You can also open OneDrive for Business in Explorer view and then map a network drive to OneDrive personal and drag and drop.
  • Another technique could be to use Microsoft Flow. It is free and it works behind the scenes, directly cloud-to-cloud.

        I do not think SPFileZilla will work. I do not think you can log into 2 accounts at the same time. You can only do your local network on one side and then login to a SharePoint site on the other.

        Now, I guess if you had the entire ODFB folder already synced to your machine, you could sign into the other account and do it that way.

    Metalogix has a free SharePoint app/add-in that can import content from Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive to a SharePoint Library. I have used it several times to import content from OneDrive to my OneDrive for Business library. It has only two problems: 1. It doesn't support folders. 2. You must switch to the old OneDrive UI because it works as a button in the library ribbon. https://store.office.com/drive-to-office-365-WA103989791.aspx?lc=en-us&assetid=WA103989791&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
