Migrated files much larger in SharePoint Online than on disk
I have seen file sizes change (http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2010/11/sharepoint-changes-files-as-they-are.html), but nothing like that. Any unusual files types?
I wonder if you had some ZIP files unpacked in the move?
No it was just standard test office files. I used Invoke-SPOMigrationEncryptUploadSubmit to migrate the files.
Here are some examples:
I have discovered the exact same issue... 200kB word docs have grown after sharepoint upload to 1.4MB files! There are no extra 'versions' that I can see, just the document itself; It is exactly as you have shown. I uploaded simply by syncing a folder on my desktop to the site library.
Did you happen to find out what is going on?
- Have you also checked the number of files in the Doc. Library is the same number you have in your local disk? I would also review if there are any checked out files in the doc. libary...as you said, it seems each files has only a version but you have many files there so not sure if this is true for all the files
Yes I have checked that the nr of files and folders match.
