Enter the folder path that you want to move to SharePoint Team Site.
Enter the SharePoint site you wish to upload the data too.

Double Check the Pre-Migration Settings and Data, You an at this stage also add more data migrations using the Add another source.
If you are unsure about the data being migrated you can run “Only perform scanning”
This will scan the data you wish to move and let you know if there were to be able problems prior to the move.
Let’s Migrate!!
