Moving home drives and shared drives to office cloud

[chekmate1984]

Hi all

 

Looking to move our shared drives to cloud. We at present have Office 365 A1

 

Looking to move to the storage cloud rather than one drive. Do we need to upgrade the above license to A2/A3 or is there another route?

 

Also has anyone else use storage or one drive and can advice which is better?

 

Want to move all home drives first then the shared drives later

 

Thanks

Not overly helpful in getting you to your goal but I just think of it like this:

 

OneDrive = My Documents

SharePoint = Shared Drives

I've not got as far as the staff share to sharepoint yet but it follows the same sort of process.

 

You need the sharepoint migration tool to move the docs from on prem to cloud

 

I used this guide for the onedrive settings

And i used this website to sort settings for Onedrive so it loads from program files rather than appdata which greatly helps login times
