Migration Tools

Move content into SharePoint: clone between sites and tenants, run a fast Move or Copy inside one tenant, upload from this computer or download to it, and bring Dropbox across.

Structure and content

Copy schema and content

The most thorough copy. Lists and libraries go across with their schema, content types, fields, views and folder structure, plus every item, file, version and permission. Copy a whole site end to end, or tick only the lists and libraries you want. Source and destination can be on the same tenant or on two different ones, and a OneDrive can be either end.

  • Entire site copy, or only the lists and libraries you pick
  • Same tenant or tenant to tenant, through Microsoft's Migration API
  • Every item it skips or retries is listed with the reason
  • A deep or shallow compare of source and destination when it finishes
A ShareMaster SharePoint migration mid-run: bytes downloaded and uploaded, the file in flight, and counters for done, skipped, retrying and failed items
A clone mid-run, with the file in flight and a count of everything done, skipped and retried.

Content only

Into lists that already exist

Copies items, files, folders and, if you want them, permissions into destination lists that already exist with a matching schema. Nothing about the destination's structure is changed, so it suits a destination someone has already built.

Structure only

Schema, no content

Copies list and library definitions, content types, columns, views and folder structure, with no items or files. Use it to stage a tenant before a bulk content load.

Move / Copy

Same tenant, server-side

A fast move or copy inside one tenant, using SharePoint's own server-side Copy To and Move To rather than the Migration API. Pick what to move in a two-pane browser, or drive it from a CSV with one row per folder pair. Runs can be resumed, and reversed.

  • Browse and pick, or a CSV map of folder pairs
  • Pre-Move To analysis checks every item where it would land before anything moves

Upload from this computer

Local files to a library

Uploads files and folders from this computer into a SharePoint document library through the Migration API, keeping Created and Modified dates and the author. Pick the files and browse to the destination, or list them in a CSV with one row per local path and destination URL.

Download to this computer

SharePoint to this computer

Downloads libraries, folders or files from SharePoint onto this computer: the current version of each file, in its folder tree, with Created and Modified dates kept on a best-effort basis.

Pick what to download: whole sites, libraries, folders or files.

Dropbox to SharePoint

A Dropbox account or a whole team

Imports one Dropbox account, or a whole Dropbox team, into SharePoint libraries through the Migration API. Folder structure and modified dates come across; Paper and other cloud-native files are converted, and listed in the report.

  • The Dropbox to Microsoft 365 compare report checks the two side by side afterwards

Resume and incremental runs

Run history

Every clone and Move / Copy run is kept in History on this computer. An interrupted run resumes with one click, and an incremental clone copies only what has changed since the last one. Upload, download and Dropbox runs keep their reports there too.

More tools

The rest of ShareMaster

Recycling Bin

Browse, search, restore and purge SharePoint recycle bins, first and second stage, with a record of everything recovered or deleted.

3 tools

Archive

Move files nobody opens out of SharePoint into Azure storage you own, and leave a placeholder in the library that still opens.

5 tools

Optimise Storage Tools

Get storage back: clear lists and libraries in bulk, remove empty folders and duplicate files, shrink oversized images, and recycle whole sites. Every tool previews first and recycles by default.

6 tools

SharePoint Tools

Work with SharePoint directly: browse sites, lists and files, change the settings people usually need PowerShell for, and manage list views and versioning.

4 tools

Replace

Find and rewrite text across documents, metadata and list items, in SharePoint or in a folder on this PC, with a preview before anything changes.

3 tools

Shared Links

Find every sharing link and every item with unique permissions across the sites you choose. Export it to Excel, or revoke links and reset permissions in bulk.

5 tools

Version History

Trim version history to win back storage, report what trimming would save before you commit, and reset a file's versions to a chosen point.

3 tools

Reports

Read-only Excel reports for planning a migration, finding where storage has gone and auditing who can see what. Nothing in this menu changes SharePoint, and every report is kept in History.
