I have a SharePoint 2016 on-premise environment with around 750 GB of data stored in document libraries. Our company has recently purchased O365/SharePoint Online. How do I move/migrate these document libraries to SharePoint Online, without using 3rd-party products like Sharegate?

The SharePoint Migration Tool seems to support only SharePoint 2013 on-prem. Thanks in advance for your response.

Using 3rd party tool like:

  • Thanks Mohamed for your quick response. Would it be possible to use powershell to migrate?

  • @JackSparrow Welcome:) In fact, it's a big data size that about 750 GB, so I suggest using 3rd party tool to ensure that the data & metadata & versions, permission ..etc will be migrated efficiency, BTW, you can use the trial version to check the capability of that tools

  • Based on your experience, which of these products would you suggest. We need to move all the docs with metadata and versions. Your post has been really helpful. Thank you.

As usual the answer is: it depends😉

If you do not have any requirements regarding keeping metadata and permissions than powershell absolutly is an option. Otherwise I will recommend the same tools as above. They just work and contains the options you'll need
