However, those of you that want to migrate from OneDrive for Business can always opt to move towardsSharePoint.

You should keep note that you can only move up to 500 MB of data in a single copy session. If you don’t want to waste time copying data over and over, you can use the File Explorer.
Another thing worth remembering is that there may be situations when you don’t see theMove tocommand. If that is the case, then you’re probably using classic OneDrive for Business or an on-premises instance of OneDrive for Business.
Additionally, you can only move the latest version of a file, as the older version already present inSharePointwill be overwritten during the copying process.
