Migrate data from MAC OS to SharePoint Online

Hi everyone,

 

I have a big issue to solve. in the follow rows i explain my scenario.

I have a mac which i use as a server where i shared some data (file and folders), and i need to move / migrate file and folders to sharepoint online.

I would need to know if i can use a tool to move large size docs. I think i can do it also manulay (drag & drop) but which limits do i have if i do so?

the MACs Dettails are: Mac version is 10.8 (i will provide more details soon)

 

any suggestions are welcome 🙂

 

many thanks

Andi

    Tools for macOS are very limited. Nearly all the tools (e.g. https://directory.collab365.community/office365-sharepoint/best-sharepoint-migration-tools/) are Windows based.

    The browser-based tools (e.g. https://www.slimapplications.com/product/explorer/) will also work on macOS.

    You could think on using the SharePoint Migration Tool as long as you can share the content to be migrated as a network share the tool can see. Another alternative could be to move the data using the ODFB Sync Client

      Thanks for your answer.

       

      Any way, SPMT does'mt support MAC OS. 

      I thought also about OD4B sync but it's not supported by MAC 10.8 Version 😞

       

      Thx
