SharePoint File size limitations for migrations
Updated over 2 weeks ago

ShareGate Migrate has these Microsoft file size limitations when copying your content.

Maximum upload size for a document in a library

  • SharePoint on-premises before SharePoint 2016: 2 gigabytes

  • SharePoint 2016: 10 gigabytes

  • SharePoint 2019: 15 gigabytes

  • Microsoft 365: 250 gigabytes

Note: The maximum upload size can be lowered or increased in your web application's settings for SharePoint on-premises. You cannot change that limit in Microsoft 365.

Maximum upload size for a list item attachment

  • SharePoint on-premises: 50 megabytes

  • Microsoft 365: 250 megabytes

Note: The maximum upload size for list item attachments can be modified for SharePoint on-premises. However, that limit cannot be changed for Microsoft 365.

In insane mode to an on-premises environment, ShareGate Migrate packages your content and sends it with attachments and metadata. The size limitation applies to the entire package instead of a single element.
