Importing data from network locations using the Migration Manager or SPMT
This recipe details how to find the best methods to import data into SharePoint Online from network and other cloud locations using the Migration Manager or SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT). Such migrations are typically required when consolidating digital assets into SharePoint Online to centralize content management and facilitate easier access and collaboration.
Getting ready
You must be a Global Administrator to complete this recipe. You will also need access to the source files being brought into Microsoft 365. For example, if you’re migrating on-premises content, you will need administrative permissions for any on-premises machines, as well as access to their specific file share locations being migrated. Or, if you’re migrating a cloud location’s files, you must be an administrator of third-party cloud locations such as Dropbox.
