Move Files from OneDrive to OneDrive for Business by SysTools

Admin Technology

OneDrive (previously known as SkyDrive) is the online storage service provided by the cloud that enables the users to access their data from anywhere and anytime. It helps the user to organize or manage their files and folders. No doubt, OneDrive offers some amazing features but, there are some challenges faced by its users. OneDrive has less storage space and uses primitive type document management system that makes many users migrate data from OneDrive to OneDrive for business. The professional solution to carry out OneDrive to OneDrive migration is to use SysTools (a OneDrive Migration tool). It is very simple to use this software plus it gives out very effective results. I would like to share my experience with SkyDrive Onedrive for Business Migration tool.

Prominent Features of OneDrive to OneDrive Migrator Tool (Systools)

Transfer from OneDrive to Another OneDrive

Making use of this utility, a user can easily copy files from OneDrive to OneDrive for business. The tool is intelligent enough to migrate all the items such as audios, videos, PDFs, DOC files, etc., from OneDrive to another OneDrive.

Insert Source and Destination User ID

A user can add the Source as well as destination user account identities with the help of a feature enabled in this migrator tool:

Source and Destination User ID: If an admin wants to involve a single user (source and destination IDs) at a time, he/she can go with this alternative. But, do not forget to verify source and destination admin IDs before commencing the procedure. Also, it is required to enter username and password before the process starts.
Import CSV File: Once the source and destination user IDs are authenticated, a user can import CSV file in order to carry out the OneDrive to OneDrive migration for business. This option is helpful when anyone wants to perform the migration in bulk.

Date-based Filter

This factor is of great help when it comes to selective data migration. Users are provided an opportunity to export the data falling within a particular date range. It is just required to enter the “To” and “From” fields. Two types of date filters are there:

Creation Date
Modification Date

Impersonation Feature for O365 Admin

With the intention of migrating OneDrive to OneDrive for business, there is a unique feature called impersonation for Admin. It is because an admin needs to carry out domain to domain migration for multiple user accounts.
