Validated multiple different scenarios as a dry run using the Ultrex Test MS365 Tenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lessons Learned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– If a folder \/ file is owned by User 1 in OneDrive and User 1 has shared contents to User 2 with edit permissions (didn’t test with view permissions), and then User 1 is unlicensed\/deleted, from User 2’s OneDrive you can still move files\/folders into a Sharepoint site that User 2 is a site member of w\/ edit permissions as well, by using OneDrive’s “Move To” company sharepoint site function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
o The value of this is that file version history will move across with the contents to the Sharepoint site.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Sharepoint Migration tool is the best tool to use if you have files locally synced on the computer you want to upload from. But since this is essentially creating a copy of those files (if downloading from OneDrive), then you’ll lose file version history and will be uploading a fresh copy into the sharepoint site you need.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When name files \/ sharepoint sites, plan how you will be syncing the files to your users’ devices. Sharepoint sites will display name in the following order: “Document Library Name – Sharepoint Site Name”. For example in MPP’s it will show as “Shared – Accounting”. Then if you’re having users look in separate spots for where files are living (i.e. OneDrive for items owned by you, and Sync to Device for Sharepoint Sites that will show up in a separate line in File Explorer outside of the OneDrive live), it needs to be clear which library is for which site since you only have so much room.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If having users “Add Shortcut to OneDrive”, make sure to just select the Document Library tab and say “Add Shortcut to OneDrive” without highlighting any of the subfolders, and this will add the Full Parent Library folder in a top level folder in OneDrive. Avoids having to select each folder and say “Add Shortcut to OneDrive” and clutter OneDrive with a million unclearly named folders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
