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…

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.

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…

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

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.

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

In modern libraries forms, there is an option to create a "Conditionnal formula" for individual columns.
Currently, these are not migrated when copying a library's structure.

About security group mapping
Please change the specification to unique ID search instead of display name search when mapping security groups in site migration.
If there are multiple security groups with the same display name, an unexpected security group may be assigned.1 vote -
mail
Ability to migrate emails from one tenant to another one.
This is why I will not choose ShareGate instead of Avepoint Fly.
With this feature included, you could see a lot of new clients for sure.1 vote -
User mapping by UPN
When migrating from On-Prem to SharePoint ShareGate does not use the users UPN instead either using property extraction or if that fails NTFS metadata. The issue is allot of the time when this fails it pick up the SAM account name creating an orphaned user in SharePoint.
Could Sharegate not also check the local AD for a matching UPN for the user as if using Azure AD sync this should (in theory) match.

T2T migration SharePoint to onedrive shortcut
T2T migration SharePoint to onedrive shortcut
Our new users enjoy the feature, adding a shortcut to SharePoint library in OneDrive. And some of them built complex documents links .having a way to inventory those shortcut might help to prepare the migration (inventory users, library, target communication).

Ability to remap changed list lookups
We have transitioned from an onpremise Sharepoint to SP Online, this type of task is very necessary in many migration instances not just our own. Copy and rename, using a formula, that is all I need. I can tailor a script but lookups do not work properly unless done in a very specific order. Try doing that will 200 sites and several thousand lists. I cannot stress the level of necessity it is to dynamically remap changed list lookups. PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE NEXT VERSION OF SHAREGATE. But my biggest issue is that the support we get now is…

Add ability to migrate Nintex on-prem workflows to Nintex Workflow Cloud
Nintex has informed me that they no longer recommend migrating Nintex on-prem workflows to SharePoint online workflows as the workflow engine is being deprecated by Microsoft. They only recommend migrating directly to Nintex Workflow Cloud so it would be very helpful is ShareGate supported this.

Have the possibility to create projects in SG
Since we have multiple migrations in parallel, it would be great to have the chance to create projects in SG. This will avoid to have several session IDs mixed from different migrations all together. Once one project finishes, we can easy export all reports and delete the project and easy clean-up the temporary files on C:. Also, have the chance to recover or restore an old project in case we want to do a delta (copy_teams) or revocer some info/data from that project.
In this way we could have one sub-folder per project undermeath cache and applogs, scheduling folders.1 vote -
Teams and Planner migration - list of elements from each environment
In the GUI, add the option to show or not the list of Teams and Planners, or to avoid to do the fetch when you connect. This is to avoid waiting for so long when you connect against a very large environment. Since normally a Teams or Planner will be copied as a new, it is in vane to do the fetch in destination.
