M-Files to Sharepoint Online file migration

Does anybody have any insights how to to migrate files from M-Files file management system to SharePoint? Especially any 3rd party tools that could automate the file transferring in the same way as Sharegate or such. I have tried to search information from multiple migration software vendors but with no luck.

    Hi Rauli, we are looking for the same thing, did you have any luck with finding a suitable migration tool? The only one that came back in a search for me were Ensentia, who I don't know anything about.Rauli Saarikangas

        Hi gogos125hotmailcom 

        We ended up using a tool called M-Files Exporter is a relatively new product but the support was great and any questions I had around limitations etc were answered promptly.  Is reasonably priced also.  We used this tool to export the files out of M-Files to a shared drive then used the SharePoint migration tool to import them.  While the tool has limitations (doesn't export versions) it helped us get them out.  If you have any questions around the tool please email martin@m-files-exporter.com

      Sorry no news about this. We really didn't even proceed to the migration in this case. The Ensentia that Lisa mentioned above seems to be the only tool or service to do the migration.
