Walkthrough - Import files to SharePoint in PowerShell

This is an example for importing files from file system and file shares to SharePoint.

1. In the ShareGate migration tool, click PowerShell in the menu. 
2. You can also open PowerShell directly from your Windows Explorer and access the Sharegate module by typing in the following:
   

   Import-Module Sharegate	

3. Connect to your destination SharePoint site, this is the site that contains the library you want to copy content to (see Connect-Site).
   

   Note: If your site contains blank spaces, ensure to place it within double quotes (ex: "http://game2/sites/Site with Space/")

   $dstSite = Connect-Site -Url "http://myfarm2/sites/mydestinationsite"	

4. Get your destination library that you want to copy content to (see Get-List).
   
   

   $dstList = Get-List -Site $dstSite -name "Documents"

5. Import the folder content from file system or file shares to the destination library (see Import-Document)
   
   

   $result = Import-Document -DestinationList $dstList -SourceFolder "\\MyShare\MyFolderThatContainsFilesToImport\"	

6. You can print the result in the windows or export the migration report to an Excel file (see Export-Report).
