How to move over 200.00 files in SharePoint online?

Bronze Contributor

Hi everyone,

 

We have one document library with over 300.000 items in it. We therefore cannot reliably sync this library with OneDrive NGSC.

According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description... the current limit is 300.000 across all synced items and libraries. If I remember correctly, this was 100.000 a few months ago.

 

I want to move as many folders and items as possible to a different document library within the same site, but I keep hitting road blocks.

When I use the "move" options in SPO, the process starts and takes a while, then says "finished/completed", but the folders and items are actually not moved. I assume it's because there are to many items in that folder (subfolder/items), but there is no way for me to know how many items that folder really has.

 

What options do I have to reliably move those folders? Is there a command line version that works more reliably?
