Q – I was using Outlook desktop client for a number of years. Recently, I faced some errors with Outlook application so I decided to move my Outlook emails into Office 365 account. The main issue here is how to export Outlook data to Office 365 account? If you have any solution for this, please share here.

One method is Drive Shipping by which you can simply import PST files to Office 365 account. This method can be used to simply import Outlook messages to Office 365 profile.

Here is another solution for you – Network Upload. By this method, the admin can move data over a network and then to Office 365 profile.

I have read both the above methods but unable to understand these methods. Can you please explain these methods so that I can perform the conversion?

Both the methods are much similar to each other. In the case of Drive Shipping, Admin needs to install WAImportExport.exe tool and secure the storage key which is required for importing PST files in the hard drive. With this tool, the admin can copy PST files in hard drive.

In the case of Network Upload, Admin needs to install Azure AzCopy Tool that will move PST files to Office 365 with a combination of SAS URL and network URL. Due to SAS key, admin can import PST files to Azure storage location. Later on, from Azure location to cloud.
