Migrated files to Sharepoint is more than what is in the fileshare?

Question

I have migrated about 19.5 GB files and folders to Share Point online from File Share with Microsoft Migration Tool .

In sharepoint i seem to have more files.

For example when go into same folder in sharepoint and fileshare Their content are ;

SharePoint

~$H Limited
~$H Limited
APH Limited
APC Limited . KLM Limited

FileShare

APH Limited
APC Limited
KLM Limited ..........

What I mean is that Sharepoint contains what is in FileShare also it has extra files in it starts with ~$...

I thought they may be the hidden files in fileshare but seems like there is actually no hidden files on that folder that i inspect.

Why does it happen? How can i avoid it guys?

Thank you in advance!!

Answer 1

files starting with ~$H Limited are temporary files where users editing documents.

In migration tool you can set some filters in Advanced Settings:

try disable: Migrate Hidden files:
