I'm planning to move some small Public Folders to O365 now that we have our Hybrid environment up and working.
Several Microsoft articles I've read say the following in regards to Public Folders in Hybrid:
"Public folders can only reside in one place, so you must decide whether your public folders will be in Exchange Online or on-premises."
That is from this article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration/public-folders/configure-legacy-public-folders-for-hybrid?view=exchserver-2019
Does that mean that if I have on premise Public Folders, I can't create any Exchange Online Public Folders at all, or does it just mean that users can only access Public Folders in one location.
I do still have my Exchange 2019 Public Folders on Exchange 2019, but Exchange Online appears to have the ability for me to create a new Exchange Online Public Folder mailbox and Public Folders while the on-prem PFs still exist.
Since the PFs are small, I'd like to just export them to a PST file, create a new Public Folder Mailbox in Exchange Online, and import the PST to Exchange Online's Public Folders while the on-prem PFs still exist, and then have online users access the new Online PFs while on prem users still access the old on-prem PFs. There won't be much time until everyone is moved Online, so I'm not worried about anything being sync'd.
Can I do it this way, or will I be blocked from having any Exchange Online PFs at all while the on-prem PFs still exist?
