Hi, I am looking for UK Education Data protection policy's and security information needed to show Head Teacher before we look to mirgrate all of the school data over to sharepoint. The data will have confideinalty and secure information in it about priamry school children.

 

Looking for tips on how to transfer about 300gb of data to share point? Whats the best way please.

 

And how to mirgrate users home drives to one drive.

 

Thanks in advance

For the first part, have a look at the Microsoft Trust Center for Office 365, which covers some related topics.

 

For migrating data to SharePoint, that needs to be done with a lot of thought and planning.  For that amount of data, a migration tool would be recommended.  You need an Information Architecture and Governance for starters.

 

Have a look at what Microsoft FastTrack offers, if you are eligible it comes with benefits like data migration help - FastTrack Center Benefit Overview. Here is another article that may be helpful.

 

Though not a recent article check out this article which has some helpful steps - Migrating File Shares to SharePoint Online.  Be aware you may come across a view limit of 5,000 items as well, though that might be improving and if you get your IA right, you shouldn't hit this limit.
