Migrating same folder structure to SharePoint Online

Question

Hello,

I'm using Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool to migrate fileserver's folder structure to SharePoint Online. I'm doing bulk upload following Microsoft's instructions. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/how-to-format-your-csv-file-for-data-content-migration

However, I can get the specific folders from the source, but I cannot point them to the specific subfolders. Is there anyway to do it?

Thank you

Hi @Dee Akil ,

Per my test,migrations can currently only go to the first subfolder level of the library. Maybe you can use the Move to function or drag and drop directly as a workaround, which is relatively convenient in SharePoint Online. Or you could quickly migrate folders by using PowerShell code.
1.Move to

2.drag and drop

3.PnP PowerShell to Move a Folder in SharePoint Online:

#Config Variables  
$SiteURL = "https://Crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"  
$SourceFolderURL= "Shared Documents/11/Active"  
$TargetFolderURL = "Shared Documents/11/22/33"  

#Connect to PnP Online  
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential)  

#sharepoint online powershell move folder  
Move-PnPFolder -Folder $SourceFolderURL -TargetFolder $TargetFolderURL
