IT Partner migrates users' home folders or file share content from file server(s) to OneDrive for Business. OneDrive for Business is the required destination, not the personal consumer version of OneDrive. This Migration service is for organizations with an Entra ID (Microsoft 365) tenant, OneDrive for Business licenses assigned to users, and admin access to the source file server.
This service migrates users' home folders or file share content from your file server(s) into each user's OneDrive for Business, using Microsoft-supported tooling such as Migration Manager's file-share migration or an equivalent approach suited to your environment. IT Partner maps source folders to the right users, pre-stages the data, and completes a final delta pass so users pick up their files in the cloud with minimal disruption. OneDrive for Business must be the destination — this service does not cover the personal consumer version of OneDrive. For migration from other platforms, such as Box, Dropbox, or Google Drive, see IT Partner's separate document migration service for those sources.
Confirm project scope, target users, source file server locations, required administrative access, communication approach, expected schedule, and any known constraints such as maintenance windows or network limits.
Collect the user list, source folder inventory, source-to-destination mapping, data size estimates, file server access details, licensing confirmation, and any content exclusions or special handling requirements.
Verify that OneDrive for Business is available for in-scope users, confirm licenses are assigned, initialize or validate OneDrive sites as needed, and prepare destination accounts for migration.
Perform an initial migration pass for in-scope content to reduce final cutover time, identify file or permission exceptions, and review migration results before final synchronization.
Provide informational messaging for affected users covering expected timing, any required file freeze or change window, how to access OneDrive for Business after migration, and where to report issues.
Complete the final migration or delta pass from the file server to the mapped OneDrive for Business accounts, focusing on changes since pre-stage migration and agreed in-scope content.
Validate migrated content against the agreed scope, review migration exceptions, remediate practical issues where possible within scope, document unresolved items, and prepare the closeout report.
IT Partner migrates users’ home folders or file share content from source file server(s) into the appropriate users’ OneDrive for Business accounts. The service includes gathering migration details, preparing OneDrive accounts, preparing the server for transfer, completing the data transfer, notifying users, verifying issues, and providing a closeout report.
The required destination is OneDrive for Business in your Microsoft 365 tenant, because this service is designed for organizational cloud storage tied to Entra ID accounts. It does not migrate files to the personal consumer version of OneDrive.
No, this specific service is for migrating personal documents from file server(s) to OneDrive for Business. For migrations from platforms such as Box, Dropbox, or Google Drive, IT Partner indicates that a different OneDrive for Business personal document migration service should be checked.
You must have an Entra ID, Microsoft 365, tenant with OneDrive for Business licenses assigned to the users being migrated. You must also provide admin access to the source file server so IT Partner can prepare and transfer the data.
The listed duration is 3 days. Larger data volumes, network bandwidth limits, or a phased cutover can extend the schedule, which is confirmed with IT Partner during kickoff.
The service is priced at $50 per seat plus a $300 tenant fee, quoted in writing before work begins — you pay after you approve delivery. Optional items such as customer team training or more extensive documentation are quoted separately.
The engagement typically includes a kickoff meeting, receiving required client data, preparing OneDrive accounts, pre-staging the migration, notifying users, completing the final migration, and verifying or fixing issues. These milestones reflect the stated implementation plan, but IT Partner notes that the plan may vary depending on your needs.
No, customer team training is not included in this service. IT Partner states that training can be added as an additional service if your organization needs it.
No, mailbox migration is not included in this OneDrive for Business file migration service. If mailbox migration is needed, IT Partner notes that it can be added as an additional service.
All in-scope documents are transferred to OneDrive for Business, and users can access their files from desktop PCs, mobile phones, and tablets anywhere, any time — through the OneDrive sync client, the web, and Microsoft 365 apps.
The service description does not specify a guaranteed downtime window or exact user impact. Because the plan includes pre-stage migration, user notification, final migration, and verification, any expected disruption should be confirmed with IT Partner during planning based on your file server environment and migration needs.
IT Partner provides a project closeout report that shows final project status, acceptance criteria matching, any outstanding issues, and the final budget. More extensive documentation is not included by default and can be provided for an additional fee.
