Baby steps approach to migrating to SP online
Hi all, please bear with me as i'd really appreciate a plain english approach (some of the MS docs just go down rabbit holes and round in circles). I have to migrate approx 500gb of company data fr...
Apologies, i totally mis-typed our data info. I've amended my OP to read 500gb of data to be migrated. The 2.5TB denotes how much storage in SPO we have. Our data grows very slowly so 2.5TB will last us well into the future before the need to purchase more.
With this in mind, would you now agree that manually moving data in small chunks (maybe per dept) would be the better option?

I just finish to migrate 1.6TB of data with sharegate. With this tools you can do also remaping if needed, preserve or reset the permission.
If you plan to do the remapping, i really advise you to do it by chunk indeed. Dependeing of your source structure, you can do it per folder or per department. Don't do it for example accross several folder with for exemple item modified between date 1 and date 2, it's difficult to reconcile after if your project take a long time.
