The Migration center is located in the modern SharePoint admin center. You will be guided through agent setup and creating your file share migration tasks.

Before you begin

Before you create your first migration task, do the following checks:

Check Do

Required Endpoints Review the required Endpoints
Government cloud If you are on a Government cloud, make sure your settings are correctly configured before you begin.
Set up your Migration Manager agent You can set up as many agents as needed to scale your project.
File size File share migration supports migrating individual files of up to 250 GB.

Source and destination

For every migration task you create, you'll be prompted for a source and a destination. The credentials that you used to set up your agents have permission to access to any file share you plan to migrate.

  • Source - The source is where your file share content currently exists. File shares include centralized file hosting on a network server, a network drive, or shared files or disks on a local computer. Often referred to as a "Z drive" on networked computers, it's a shared drive somewhere on the network. You'll need to know the path of the file share and enter it using the format: \\contoso\fileshare\

  • Destination - The destination is where in Microsoft 365 you want to copy your content. It can be a SharePoint site, OneDrive, or a Teams location. Decide where you want the content to be, and then enter the specific location URL.
