Can I move a SharePoint on-prem library to a SPO list? #M365AMA
In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:
“I’m totally stumped with this one. We have an old SharePoint site that we’re trying to migrate over to SharePoint online. I have a Document Library with 666 files that I need to move to a SharePoint List on the new site. I’ve tried ShareGate but it won’t move from Library to List. Any suggestions other than manually entering 5700 items…. Or should I begin crying now? lol.”
