When migrating SharePoint sites between Microsoft 365 tenants, unexpected roadblocks can arise-especially when hidden policies or settings limit your migration scope.
One of our recent customers encountered a significant challenge with SharePoint site storage quotas that blocked their migration progress. Here’s how Apps4.Pro Migration Manager helped identify, troubleshoot, and resolve the SharePoint migration issue quickly and efficiently.
The Challenge: SharePoint Migration Halted by a Storage Quota Error
During the migration from the source tenant to the target SharePoint Online site, the migration process came to a halt due to a storage limit error.
The target SharePoint site had pre-configured policies in place that restricted its available storage capacity. As a result, the incoming content from the source site couldn’t be accommodated, and the migration failed.
This was a frustrating experience for the customer, as they had:
- Verified content sizes before migration
- Ensured admin roles and access permissions
- Set up destination site collections correctly
Still, the migration tool was unable to write data to the target site due to the SharePoint Online storage quota limitations.
The Solution: Using a Apps4.Pro to Fix the SharePoint Storage Quota Issue
To address the issue, the customer turned to Apps4.Pro Migration Manager’s advanced migration settings, specifically the “Migrate site collection storage quota” feature.
Once this setting was enabled in the tool, here’s what happened:
- The tool automatically measures the storage size of the source SharePoint site during migration and expands the storage capacity of the target site accordingly.
- The policy conflict was bypassed without needing manual intervention or changes via PowerShell.
- Migration resumed and completed successfully without further storage errors.
