  1. rename cloud copy job

    In Cloud Copy, after the job has run, there is no way to rename the job that ran. So, when migrating many teams from one tenant to another, it is difficult to figure out which Incremental job to run without keeping a log based on run date/time.

    This option is available in the desktop migration tool would love to see this in Cloud Copy

  3. Support powershell 7 in ShareGate

    Usually, I have a mixed environment on-prem + SPO, so I use Powershell 5 for on-prem, and Powershell 7 for SPO with installed pnp modules to do some additional steps. Would be nice if the ShareGate module could work in PowerShell 7+ currently I receive there

  4. Implement retry mechanism for folder creation using parallel tasks in insane mode

    We want to be able to execute parallel migrations against the same target folder structure in SharePoint. To prevent dependencies between tasks we have duplicated the folder items within the tasks. However when running in insane mode the creation of a folder within the task that runs at about the same moment might fail because another task already created the folder. In this case we would like to have a retry mechanism implemented that again checks for the presence of the folder and reports the folder item as skipped instead of error. This way we can rely upon thrustworthy reports…

  5. Ability to Migrate from SharePoint to Windows File Explorer

    Would be so helpful to be able to migrate SharePoint document libraries from SharePoint to Windows File Explorer or our local, on-prem server. Right now, the best tool is to just download off of SharePoint. This can cause all sorts of issues for folder/doc libraries over a couple of GBs. ShareGate seems ready built to handle something like this.

  6. Keep date when you download files from a Document Share to a classic server

    Keep date when you download files from a Document Share to a classic server. I have the actual date, not the old.

    The goal is to archive a site that is no longer needed, so we "take it down" to a physical server to free up the costly impact of the SharePoint Cloud. The dates would ensure good searchability by users once the data is archived.

  9. Add a longform link to the emails sent by ShareGate

    Some companies' email system converts messages to plain text so if there is a "button" that is included in the SG message, it often is not materializing.

    It would be great to add an alternative method to access the links sent.

  10. PowerShell command with non verbose option (in the Tasks List ) or PowerShell command to clean the Task Lists

    Add a parameter to the PowerShell command to not show the command in the Task List, because it is not possible to remove the the task in the the tasks list with a PowerShell command.

  12. Add ability to migrate content in Google Drive under Computer (i.e., when Google Drive Desktop is used to sync files to their Google Drive).

    Add ability to migrate content in Google Drive under Computer (i.e., when Google Drive Desktop is used to sync files to their Google Drive).

    When performing a migration using ShareGate Desktop from Google Drive to OneDrive/SharePoint, there are Google Drive users using Google Drive Desktop to sync files to their Google Drive. These files synced from the desktop to the user's Google Drive do not appear in the ShareGate Desktop source listing of files. The sync'd content contributes to the overall Google Drive storage size.

    Google Drive for Desktop syncs via mirroring or streaming. In both cases documents are stored…

  14. Build an auto-cancel option for specifed times or durations

    It would be nice to be able to schedule a cancel time or duration when scheduling tasks. SG tasks/processes have a large impact on servers when running above the Low performance and can disrupt the business. Many tasks have to run outside of business hours. Being able to start and stop tasks at certain times would be invaluable!

  15. Convert Classic Blogs/List to Modern Pages

    As many people have legacy blogs or lists that should now be converted to Modern pages, it would be helpful if the tool could help with that. Microsoft has some documentation around it but it would be a great addition to the migration piece as I deal with many clients that have this need.

  17. History tab only option in copy options

    For team objects its possible to copy messages. Recent messages will be copied to the Posts tab, while older messges will be in the history tab.

    It would be helpful if all messages are copied only to the history tab and you can start over with posts in the copied channel. Perhaps as an additional option.

    Maybe this could also allow to copy posts from an existing channel as "history tab" into another channel with the same name. Especially when you want to merge channels
