Copy Large Folder Remotely

Question

I'm trying to copy a large folder shared by a second OneDrive account to my own account.

The folder is about 200 GB which is too large to download to my own computer. So this won't work: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/copy-files-from-another-person-s-onedrive-7eb33f7d-6540-488f-afaf-56043828e47b

Thus I'm trying to figure out something that facilitates copying all the files remotely - without going through my own computer.

I've tried the Graph Explorer (beta), which allows me to list and get the right folder id, but gives an internal server error when trying to post the copy command.

I've tried the Mover.io but it doesn't allow moving within the same OneDrive (nor won't it list files within a shared folder).

I'm good with PowerShell but am unable to find any good recent references for the OneDrive personal - only business.

The only alternative I can think of is spin up a VM in Azure with enough disk space and use the sync method. Any better ideas?

Hello Gert,

Options for personal one drives are limited, compared to business accounts. I would go with the Azure VM.
