How are you doing the migration? The problem you have with the largest database is that you might be falling into the classical list threshold in SPO lists

We are using PowerApps - exporting the database into Sharepoint Lists.

We are also using access apps.
But in my tenant I have an option to export my application to a set of SharePoint lists:
It creates a subsite with a few lists.
Do you have this option also?
- Malinda ChanyiJan 19, 2018Copper ContributorYes, but the access database is too large to export into Lists. It hangs up for 3 days, and there is no abort option. We eventually had to put the data into Excel and managed to import it into Power APPs that way.
Microsoft should NOT be retiring Access Web Apps.
