Public Folder Migration to SharePoint Online
Hello I am using SharePoint High Speed Migration API to migrate public folder migration to SharePoint online with the help of following article http://www.sharepointevolved.com/2015/09/22/office-...
My 2 cents here:
1. The FAST Migration API seems to not preserve your metadata properly so I advise to move to the SPO Migration Tool or a third party one.
2. I have seen this also when doing some migrations and I have not an explanation about why the storage metrics page is showing more space occupied by the data that what you have OnPrem.
3. I believe is just a limitation of the Fast Migration API. As you have verified, for files greater than 2 GB you will have to use CSOM but then you will have the bad CSOM performance.

Thanks for clarification Juan.
Is there any way to migrate files permission using High Speed migration API?
Is MS Migration tool migrate permission as well? I tested but it doesnt migrate permission, may be I missed any settings, Can you please confirm?

- Well, not sure if the migration tool preserves permissions you have OnPrem (For sure it does when migration from a SharePoint 2013 to SPO)...I have not tested that scenario, but the tool (and also third party ones) should include a kind of mapping so security is preserved
