OneDrive migration

Give every user secure access to their work files anywhere.

Carefully planned OneDrive migrations with identity, device, backup and user support considered from the beginning.

How we help

Personal business files, protected and available

ITSPLUS moves appropriate user files into OneDrive while separating personal work from shared company information that belongs in SharePoint.

File migration

User data is assessed, prepared, transferred and validated with minimal interruption.

Security and support

Microsoft identity, device and sharing controls protect access to business files.

Work from anywhere

Files can follow authorised users across supported office, home and mobile devices.

What belongs in OneDrive

OneDrive is intended for an individual user’s business files and work in progress. Department records, shared procedures and content owned by a team usually belong in SharePoint. ITSPLUS classifies content before migration so users do not become accidental owners of important company information.

We review local profiles, redirected folders, home drives, laptops and existing cloud storage, then identify duplicates, unsupported files and data that should be archived or relocated.

Secure configuration before migration

The destination is prepared with appropriate identity and device controls. Multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, managed devices and sharing policies can reduce the risk of files being exposed through compromised accounts or unmanaged computers.

Microsoft retention is not the same as an independent backup. We discuss recovery expectations and suitable Microsoft 365 backup options so accidental deletion, ransomware and long-term retention requirements are addressed deliberately.

Migration with less disruption

Pilot users validate sync behaviour, application dependencies and the new support process. Data can then move in controlled batches, with final synchronisation and validation scheduled around business hours. Known Folder Move may be used to protect common Windows folders where it suits the environment.

After cutover, users receive help with sync status, Files On-Demand, sharing links and access from new devices. ITSPLUS monitors issues and resolves them before small misunderstandings turn into shadow storage or duplicated data.

Ongoing OneDrive and Microsoft 365 support

We support account lifecycle management, device replacement, secure sharing, recovery and Microsoft 365 administration after migration. When a user leaves, ownership and retention are handled through a documented offboarding process so business information is not lost with the account.
