Upload of Network Share to Sharepoint Document Library
Dear All, we would like to upload a network share to Sharepoint Online keeping the same folder hiercachy and also an important metadata like: Created Created By Modified Modified By Owner...
I'm not aware of a tool from MS to do this.
There are many 3rd party tools, from vendors like Metalogix, ShareGate and Others
the tricky part is the Security because your on-premises accounts must be mapped to their cloud equivalents.
I have found that many of my clients wanted to do this, but after demonstrating the benefits of multiple document libraries with metadata and views, they changed their mind. A direct file share copy typically prevents the users from realizing many of the benefits of SharePoint.
