Steps for moving SharePoint 2010 libraries to Office 365

Although you're not yet storing files in OneDrive for Business on Office 365, you can still create a sync connection on your computer. Later, you'll copy files to the synced library folder on your computer, and these files will automatically upload to OneDrive for Business on Office 365.

  1. Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.

  2. At the top of the page, select OneDrive. Or, select the app launcher Office 365 app launcher icon , and then select OneDrive.

    You won't see any files in the synced library folder. So far you've only set up the sync connection between the folder and the Office 365 library.

  1. Go to the My Site document library that contains the files you want to move.

  2. On the Library tab, in the Connect & Export group, select Open with Explorer.

    The files will automatically get uploaded to Office 365. You can repeat these procedures to move files from other SharePoint 2010 libraries.

    Tip:  You can quickly navigate to the library in a web browser. In the synced library folder, right-click any file, select OneDrive for Business, and then select Go to browser.
