Microsoft provides the tool Mover.io, to migrate files from a large number of popular cloud storage providers into OneDrive.
Information Technology encourages students, faculty, and staff to migrate data between OneDrive’s using the following steps:
Step 1: Log into Mover.io with your School Account
- Using your favorite browser, navigate to https://app.mover.io and select "Sign In with Microsoft"
Note: If you're signed into a campus computer, you can use Microsoft Edge to automatically sign into your Microsoft account.
Sign in using your @cedarville.edu email address and password.
- The first time you log in to Mover with your Microsoft account, you'll be asked to give permission to access your files. Select Yes to continue.
Step 2: Authorize a File Source (OneDrive for Business)
- On the next page, select Authorize New Connector under Step 1: Select Source.
- Then select the OneDrive you want to transfer from.
- Select authorize next to the cloud storage you're using at work or school, such as OneDrive for Business (Single User). This allows Mover to access your school files.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account or the account you use with school to authorize it as a source location.
- Review and select the files and folders that you want to move.
Note: All the files and folders in the directory you select, will be moved.
Step 3: Authorize a File Destination (OneDrive Consumer)
- To choose the location that your files will move to click Authorize New Connector under Step 2: Select destination.
- On the next page, select Authorize next to the Microsoft account that you want to move your files to.
- Enter the username and password for your personal Microsoft account.
Note: You must use OneDrive Consumer for your personal Microsoft account. If you select OneDrive for Business (Single User) and log in with your personal account, it will not work.
- Select an existing folder to move your files to or select Create Folder if you want a new folder for your files.
Step 4: Migrate Your Files
- Under Step 3: Start transferring, select Start Copy. Mover transfers a copy of your school files over to your Microsoft account OneDrive.
Note: Your original files will remain in your Microsoft 365 school account and will not be removed.
- If you want to see more information about the transfer, review the data under Transfer. For example, if you have any Files Skipped, select the number of files in the column and review the files.
