Fileshare migration
Hi As the MS SharePoint Migration Assessment Tool (SMAT) only works for SP Farms. What to use (to identify any file "issues") when it is lots of Fileshares that needs to be migrated to SPO? ...
Hello,
We use the SPMT (SharePoint Migration Tool) from Microsoft. And it does in fact scan file shares - you can even set the preferred method to scan first (and then choose not to commence the actual migration).

Yes - we can just scan using the SPMT as Henrik mentioned - Just on the last screen - click the gear icon to see your options. But I have personally had much better experience using 3rd party tools(the likes of ShareGate, Metalogix etc) to get better insights scanning large file repositories!
