In large IT organizations, especially organizations that already use Office 365 applications, often the O365 global admin is a different team or admin than the SharePoint Online team or admin. The SharePoint Online admin team who would have the SharePoint Online service administrator role, but not necessary the entire O365 tenant global admin role, should be able to run the SharePoint Online Hybrid picker as well as the O365 global admin.

The current 2.1 release of the SharePoint Migration Tool balloons to occupy a huge amount of memory and disk space when scanning millions of files. I find this unnecessary for a program that is essentially creating a catalog of files.

After scanning 15 million files, memory usage is at 12 GB and the list.dat file is 45 GB.

Don't immediately begin migration of files upon resuming a scan only session. I had a scan only session running for 175 shares that crashed the SPMT. Upon restarting and resuming the migration, the tool began actually migrating the files when I only wanted to scan them.

SharePoint Migration tool does not migration Full permission from File share to "Full Control" permission level in SharePoint Online. The mapping of Full permission to contribute is not a correct scenario because it does not provide Share folder permissions. This is a serious flaw. We hope there is a workaround or fix very soon.

Pause/resume feature of SharePoint Migration Tool is disabled.

Offer option for top navigation links to open in new tab by default.

"Copy path" making it possible to copy the path to a point in the file structure would help the organisation to learn "what to find where" by pointing at exact not-manually-entered locations.

It would decrease the tendency of the structure to become a "write-only-memory" with increasing size and time.

The PowerShell cmdlets for copying Taxonomy Groups and Content Types (Copy-SPTaxonomyGroups, Copy-SPContentTypes) only support passing credentials in a legacy method, this blocks copying these items to SPO if you have conditional access (or have disabled legacy auth) enforced for your tenant.

Increase the number of keywords that can be followed on SharePoint without crashing the search system.

One of the base requirements for the migration tool is 150G of available space or an SSD. Many of the organizations we support have relatively small C drives though plenty of storage on other attached storage. The migration tool seems to error out if the C drive has < 150G of available space. Please allow the admin performing the migration to specify where the migration tool can obtain it required space.

Let the SPMT tool provisioning all the users OD4B sites - up front (BULK) - just as the Thinkscape product files to go does

429 errors on mass uploads. Please provide a mass transit option for uploading gigabytes of files quickly.

After Migration we are unable to open MS Project files (.MPP) from Office 365 Sharepoint online. Please fix this. There are some suggestions online on how to fix it but best would be if this was native within SharePoint Online

Currently, a Cloud Search Service Application does not support DLP functionality with default sensitive types even with an on-premises eDiscovery Center and Compliance Policy Center. Please support default sensitive type queries and DLP functionality for on-premises sites associated with a cloud SSA.

Dedicated Azure Storage ID should be part of each tenant. Not a free ID that is shared. We never know how long a large blob storage migration is going to take.

Most Of the company Still Missing Excel Services in on-premise . Again add Excel Service if it's possible.

When using the existing SharePoint Migration tool, if you have a folder in the source and a Document Set with the same name in the destination, it seems to corrupt the Destination Document Set.
Would it please be possible to migrate files from a source Folder to a destination Document Set with the same name.

I have a few task lists in Sharepoint Online and I need to use the "Connect with Outlook" feature so that the tasks are synchronized with Outlook Tasks. When Office 2016 installed on your PC works correctly, this problem occurs when working with Office 365 in the cloud.
