Migration Manager creates an new document library in user's OneDrive Site

Hello,

 

We are trying to migrate contents from a file share to a user's Documents place (the default one, which is created on user creation ) and once we setup the Migration Manager task, all it does is create a new Document Library and upload user files to the newly created Document Library. It does not upload content to the existing documents, which is a list BTW.

We are performing the tasks with a SPAdmin account.

Has anyone expierienced such behaviour? and solved it? 

Bottomline is that we need the user files uploaded to the user Documents Folder.

    Anthony_Tudor Hello Anthony and thank you for your response.

     

    After opening a ticket with microsoft support it seems that it's a bug and it's affecting some levels of o365 licenses. Tried the same workflow with just different licenses on another tenant and it worked.

     

    A simple workaround of the above was instead of picking OneDrive as the destination, pick SPO and insert the <tenant>-my.sharepoint.com and the Documents list afterwards.

    Hi jimas_1966, are you migrating bulk fileshares using the JSON or CSV example that's given from Migration Manager. If so, leave the destination library blank and it will migrate the files into the default OneDrive Documents library for each user.

        I have the same problem, but the suggested work around didn't help. The same problem arises, a new Documents1 folder is created.
