Preparing the home folder moveīefore we can move the files we need to prepare some things. Another advantage for the users is that they can access their files from every location of course. Server storage is expensive, so it’s a waste of money to buy storage for the home folders when every user gets unlimited storage in the cloud. So to move the files we are going to use PowerShell. Now I know OneDrive has the ability to move the Known Folders (Desktop, Documents, and Pictures), but that are not the personal files that are stored on the file server. So this time I had to change my tactics, clearly, the users (150+) weren’t going to move the files themself. I tried it last year, asking everyone to copy or move the files themself but that didn’t work out as planned. We have Office 365 now for 3 years almost and one the things on my to-do list was migrating the users home folders to OneDrive for Business.
