Migrating Amazon S3 data to SharePoint is easier to manage when the work is planned before the transfer begins. Review the S3 buckets and identify the objects, folders, and files that need to move. Decide which SharePoint sites, document libraries, and folders should receive the content. Confirm that you have the AWS access key ID, secret access key, and region details, along with the Microsoft 365 application credentials needed to connect SharePoint. Review each step. Also decide whether to transfer complete buckets or only selected content. A dedicated migration utility can simplify source selection, destination mapping, filtering, and reporting in one workflow. The Aryson Amazon S3 to SharePoint Migration Tool lets users connect to Amazon S3 with AWS IAM credentials, select one or multiple buckets, and connect to SharePoint using Microsoft 365 application credentials. Administrators can review source buckets and objects, choose required files or folders, and map each bucket to a specific SharePoint site, document library, and optional destination folder. The tool supports bulk multi-bucket migration and preserves the original nested folder hierarchy and S3 paths. It transfers content directly between cloud services without creating local copies of migrated files. When organizations migrate from Amazon S3 to SharePoint, selective filters help keep the transfer focused. Available options include folder name, file extension, date range, and file size filters, so users can include content relevant to their requirements. The Skip Migrated Files option can exclude files transferred in an earlier run, which is useful when resuming a migration or moving new content. During the job, a live dashboard displays progress and file status. After completion, migration reports and logs provide details about migrated, skipped and failed files for review. A final check is just as important as the transfer. Compare selected source content with destination SharePoint libraries, check representative files and nested folders, and review skipped or failed entries. If some items were not transferred, examine their status and relevant permissions, filters, or SharePoint upload requirements before retrying. Keep a record of bucket-to-library mappings and reports. For larger environments, move data in planned groups and validate each group before proceeding. This step-by-step approach gives administrators better control over migration scope, destination organisation, and verification.
