In this guide, we will be walking you through the process of moving files and folders from one system to the other. Like a lot of other Microsoft tools, there are multiple ways of doing this but we’ll try walking you through the easiest option.

Using Windows Explorer

  1. First you will want to set up your new SPO account as a synced folder on your computer so you can simply drag-and-drop files from one to another.

  2. Open SPO and navigate to your department folder.

  3. Navigate to the Folder you want to sync (Restricted, Read Only, Shared, etc…)

  4. Click the three dots above the files/folders of the folder you want to sync (see the image to the right)

  5. Open Windows Explorer (Manila Envelope Icon)

For Apple Users

  1. Contact ITS because there isn’t an easy way to do it without downloading everything to your computer and re-uploading it to SPO.
