I'm dealing with a bit of a mess here. I've got to transfer about 20 GB of files and folders from someone's OneDrive to a SharePoint site. The catch is, this user was supposed to be working on the SharePoint site, but somehow ended up working off a local copy in OneDrive. Now I've got a lot of conflicts to sort out since everyone was using the wrong version. Is there a recommended method to move these files efficiently, especially since both are on Microsoft servers?

You should definitely check out the SharePoint Migration Tool. It's user-friendly and has a mini-agent you install that helps you manage the transfer. You just set the source and destination credentials, and then run through a wizard that lets you pick the folders to migrate. It handles conflicts well too!
Honestly, if you can avoid user errors, it's a good idea to manage how sharing works in OneDrive. It might help prevent situations where users end up with the wrong versions of files. Just a thought!
If you're looking for a quick solution, consider opening the OneDrive files directly in your browser instead of locally. You can use the "Copy to" or "Move to" features at the top of the OneDrive interface. This way, everything stays in the cloud, avoiding any local sync issues.
