Introduction

What CloudMove is, what it does, and how the pieces fit together.

Introduction

CloudMove moves files from on-premises file shares into Microsoft 365 — either SharePoint libraries or user OneDrives. It's built for MSPs who run migrations for multiple clients and need a single place to manage them.

A few things worth knowing upfront:

  • You scan before you migrate. Path length, invalid characters, blocked file types — all caught before a single file is uploaded.
  • Your data never hits CloudMove's servers. The agent uploads files directly from the source to Microsoft.
  • Progress, errors, and logs stream to the dashboard in real time — no refreshing, no guessing.

How it works

Three pieces:

  1. Dashboard — the web app where you configure projects and watch them run.
  2. Agent — a desktop app installed on a machine inside your client's network. It reads source files and uploads them.
  3. Microsoft 365 — the destination. CloudMove coordinates the transfer and stays out of the data path.

Who it's for

MSPs running migrations for multiple clients. If you're doing a one-off migration inside a single tenant, CloudMove still works — you just won't use the multi-client features.

What CloudMove migrates today

  • File shares → SharePoint Online document libraries
  • File shares → OneDrive for Business (per-user assignments)
  • Mixed: some folders to SharePoint, others to OneDrive, in the same project

Microsoft Teams channel migrations and delta sync are on the roadmap but not available yet.
