The transition to M365 involves moving our local files to the cloud with OneDrive and SharePoint. With over 1,000,000+ files in our local storage, this transition involves a lot of file preparation work.

Learn the new system limitations to properly prepare your files:

Special Character Restrictions: The following characters cannot be used in file or folder names: ” * : < > ? / \ | % .
