Copy OneDrive for Business Overview

You can copy the contents of the main Documents library of a OneDrive for Business to another OneDrive for Business Documents library.

The contents of only one Documents library can be copied at a time using the ShareGate Migrate user interface. Copying the structure is not supported and can cause unexpected problems at the destination.

Tip:  To migrate the contents of multiple OneDrives for Business or other types of OneDrive migrations using PowerShell, see OneDrive migrations.

Prerequisites

• You must provision your OneDrive at the destination before starting the copy.
• You must have the URL of the source and destination OneDrive for Business. The URL has the following structure - https://tenant_name.sharepoint.com/personal/user_principal_name.
  For the user principal name (UPN), any special characters such as a period, comma, space, and the at sign ("@") are converted to underscores ("_"). For example, user@example.com becomes user_example_com.

Note: The URL isn't created until a user accesses their OneDrive for the first time.
Also, the OneDrive URL will automatically change if the user's UPN changes. For example, if the user changes their name or the domain name changes.
