#OFFICE 365 ONEDRIVE BUSINESS SETUP FOR MULTIPLE USERS DRIVERS#
Of course, they store the work-related files on the network drivers and now on SharePoint. When we switch from a full Citrix environment to standalone, one of my concerns was keeping the user’s data safe. Your users can work and store the files as they are used to do, but they are safely backupped in the cloud. It only requires two GPO settings to set it up and it will roll out by itself. Moving the known folders (Desktop, Documents, and Pictures) to OneDrive is something you really should enable. Make sure the settings are in line with your business security policies. New settings are added regularly and you might want to limit for example the sharing options for OneDrive for Business. It’s always good to check the Office 365 Admin Center before you are running out this kind of migrations. Checking OneDrive for Business Admin Center Just like SharePoint has OneDrive for Business some file limitations: There are some GPO settings we can configure, review the OneDrive admin settings, we need to inform our users and we have to deploy the script.Īnother potential issue are invalid filenames or to longs paths. Preparing the home folder moveīefore we can move the files we need to prepare some things. Another advantage for the users is that they can access their files from every location of course.
Server storage is expensive, so it’s a waste of money to buy storage for the home folders when every user gets unlimited storage in the cloud. So to move the files we are going to use PowerShell. Now I know OneDrive has the ability to move the Known Folders (Desktop, Documents, and Pictures), but that are not the personal files that are stored on the file server. So this time I had to change my tactics, clearly, the users (150+) weren’t going to move the files themself.
I tried it last year, asking everyone to copy or move the files themself but that didn’t work out as planned.
We have Office 365 now for 3 years almost and one the things on my to-do list was migrating the users home folders to OneDrive for Business.
