But the question is, how do we begin to migrate Shared mailbox to Office 365? This blog provides multiple ways to perform this migration. While the shared mailboxes are designed to support departmental workflows, users often run into issues seeking reliable solutions. Now, let\u2019s begin the blog by first understanding the need for this migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/migrate-shared-mailbox-to-office-365\/#Need_to_Move_Shared_Mailbox_to_Office_365\" >Need to Move Shared Mailbox to Office 365<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/migrate-shared-mailbox-to-office-365\/#Easy_Ways_to_Migrate_Shared_Mailbox_to_Office_365\" >Easy Ways to Migrate Shared Mailbox to Office 365<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/migrate-shared-mailbox-to-office-365\/#1_By_Using_Exchange_Admin_Centre\" >#1: By Using Exchange Admin Centre&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/migrate-shared-mailbox-to-office-365\/#2_Reliable_Way_to_Migrate_Shared_Mailbox_to_Office_365_Account\" >#2: Reliable Way to Migrate Shared Mailbox to Office 365 Account<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/migrate-shared-mailbox-to-office-365\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/migrate-shared-mailbox-to-office-365\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions\" >Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_to_Move_Shared_Mailbox_to_Office_365\"><\/span>Need to Move Shared Mailbox to Office 365<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why moving shared mailboxes to Office 365 becomes essential. A few of them are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Users wish to move to Office 365 for a more modernised and cloud-based infrastructure. Office 365 provides better scalability and reliability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For IT teams, to eliminate the complex on-premise server settings, they chose to migrate to shared mailboxes to O365.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After migrating to Office 365, shared mailboxes offer better accessibility, whether in a hybrid or remote setting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With Office 365, users get enterprise-level security, data loss prevention, and smart auditing tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office 365 offers expandable storage limits with unlimited mailbox size. Hence, the users migrate to Microsoft Office 365.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easy_Ways_to_Migrate_Shared_Mailbox_to_Office_365\"><\/span>Easy Ways to Migrate Shared Mailbox to Office 365<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The shared mailbox to Office 365 migration can be done in two ways. One is through a manual migration using Exchange Admin Centre. Another is a professional automated method using a tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_By_Using_Exchange_Admin_Centre\"><\/span>#1: By Using Exchange Admin Centre&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This method requires first converting the shared mailbox to a user mailbox. After that, migrate the emails using Exchange Admin Centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at the following steps to migrate shared Mailbox from On Premise to Office 365:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Microsoft 365 Admin Centre<\/strong> and <strong>sign in<\/strong> with your <strong>Exchange admin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the left menu, click on <strong>Admin Centres <\/strong>&gt; <strong>Exchange<\/strong> &gt;<strong> Recipients<\/strong> &gt; <strong>shared<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, select the shared mailbox and click on <strong>Convert to Regular Mailbox<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, click<strong> Yes<\/strong>. Then navigate to<strong> Users<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Active Users<\/strong> &gt;<strong> Select the converted mailbox<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Assign license<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Again, go to <strong>Exchange Admin Centre<\/strong>&gt; <strong>Migration<\/strong> &gt; <strong>New Migration Batch<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the <strong>migration type<\/strong> and start the migration process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong> It keeps all the email data intact. Also, this method is not a direct migration method. Moreover, migrating a shared mailbox having files larger than 50 GB needs a license.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Reliable_Way_to_Migrate_Shared_Mailbox_to_Office_365_Account\"><\/span>#2: Reliable Way to Migrate Shared Mailbox to Office 365 Account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Cigati <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/office-365-backup-and-restore\/\">Office 365 Backup Tool<\/a><\/strong> offers a dependable and reliable solution to migrate shared mailboxes to an Office 365 account.
