For any organization, migrating to OneDrive for Business is a necessary but also a complicated task during SharePoint migration.
Many things must be considered before and after migration.
Here are a few of them:
The two most common scenarios which require an organization to migrate to OneDrive for Business are:
- Migrating MySites to OneDrive for Business sites: If an organization has upgraded SharePoint from On-Premise to Office 365, all the users are required to leave My Sites and adapt to OneDrive for business without losing data.
- Migrating OneDrive for Business sites to a different Office 365 tenant: Migrating OneDrive for Business sites to another tenant is necessary for the organization when the organization moves its Office 365 plan or acquires a company.
Challenges in migrating to OneDrive for Business:
- OneDrive for Business sites is not created or provisioned until a user first visits it. So, it is difficult to prepare a list of OneDrive for Business site collections to migrate.
- To migrate OneDrive for Business sites, being a tenant admin is not enough. The user needs to be a Site Collection Administrator of every personal site that is to be migrated. When migrating thousands of sites, provisioning all the sites is a tedious task.
- OneDrive for Business provides a minimum of 1 TB cloud storage. So, it is quite complex and not at all a feasible solution to migrate manually when thousands of users and files are concerned.
To overcome these challenges, going for a third-party migration tool is a better solution.
