Introduction
“I was having around 300GB of documents in my one domain of OneDrive tenant. Due to some official purpose, I had to copy them in an another ‘OneDrive for Business’ account, which was provided to me by my company board members. I contacted to support executives of different large firms but, they were not providing a direct solution for this.
