- Apr 18, 2018Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the responses.
Finally managed to sort it out the other day. Seems to be an issue with the tenant. This worked fine with other tenants.
So, the fix:
1) Create an Azure Storage account in your Azure account. Ensure that the storage is in the same region as your SharePoint tenant. (NOTE: Azure Storage accounts created in this method incurs charges)
2) Get the account name and key for the Azure Storage.
3) In SPMT, once the source and destination for the migration are added. Click on the fly wheel/settings icon.
4) Enable Custom Azure Storage, enable encryption.
5) Enter the Azure account name and key.
6) Apply the settings and start migration.
Once the migration is done, delete the Azure Storage account after ~ a week. Otherwise, you'll keep incurring charges for some encrypted data.
Hope this helps. And I hope the SPMT developers fix this issue.

Apr 08, 2018Those are some pretty large files there considering 24 files in 19GB's. Your not talking alot of files there, so why not try to just do a manual move of those files locally and upload them direct to the location?
You might be hitting a file size limit with the migration tool, even thou I don't know what that is, but just a gut feeling, that or file naming issue. I'd just manually try to get them moved if it's that urgent then trying to figure out what's wrong with the tool for 24 files.

I've used this tool before to upload like 250GB,it was seamless.
That 19GB was just a test. I've actually got like 1TB of content to be uploaded.
