We have a user who has 600GB of files in separate folders on one account and is moving to a new account. They need to move all these folders across via OneDrive but I can't find any resource that will make this happen due to the high quantity and size of files. Does anyone have a script or power automate flow they have used to automate something like this in the past?

Thanks!

    For moving/copying large amounts of files between OneDrive accounts, it is recommended to use OneDrive syncing.

    Sync both OneDrive accounts to the same computer which will allow you easily move large amounts of files at a time between the two accounts.

    Hi @Joe Gray

    Please refer to Jordan M’s suggestions. For more details, you can also checkout these articles "Copy files from another person's OneDrive" and "Move files from OneDrive to OneDrive for work or school".

    If you need the script or Power Automate flow, I would suggest you post a new thread on Microsoft Tech Community --- OneDrive Developers.

    Thanks for your understanding.
