Files migration to SPOnline
Hi all, I kindly need an advice.
Basically, we're helping a customer to migrate their files in SPO. Those are placed in a File server linked to a DB that owns the paths etc.
We have to read every file path to understand where to place it in the final destination; files from the same folder must go in different DLs at the end.
I looked into the new SP Migration Tool, with the idea to fill it with a JSON\CSV but... it doesn't accept "files" as starting point, but only folders (or DLs).
Any ideas? Should I really have to write a custom tool to process file by file?
Thanks,
Michele

I don't know which tool you are using, but it could be interesting to take a look on ShareGate.
That one accept a certain level of mapping or customization for the File Server migration.

Not quite sure what you are refering to. the input file include the complete path to the source file, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/how-to-format-your-csv-file-for-data-content-migration
Yes, i was looking into that resource, but if in the first mandatory field i put a complete file path (ex. c:\temp\d.csv) i get this error
where in the first field i have a file, not a folder.It is a BULK migration tool that is intended to migrate many files. If you want to migrate individual files you will need to use something else
