can we benefit from power automate to migrate a library which have 137,000 files and folders and tot
I have a SharePoint library named Marketing, which contain 137,000 files/folders + 769 GB.. as follow:-
now the library contains many subfolders with those storage matrix:-
and the Creative subfolder contain those storage matrix as well:-
now can i benefit from power automate to move those files from one site to another within the same tenant? or this will not work? now i can not use the built-in move action in SharePoint due to its limitation:-
Copying/Moving multiple files in a single operation has three requirements:
- No more than 100-GB total file size.
- No more than 30,000 files.
- File size limits:
- 2 GB limit for OneNote files.
- 15 GB file size limit for cross-geo copy or move.
any advice? on the best way to move the file/folders within the Marketing library?

Hi johnjohn-Peter , is this a one-off exercise or something you want to do regularly?

Jon_Lake one time job ,, other libraries that i am panning to move, has less number of files/folders and i can move them using the built-in Move To option.

Hi johnjohn-Peter , if it's a one-off exercise I wouldn't use PA. I'd sync the source and destination folders locally and then drag and drop, allowing OneDrive to replicate that action online.
