How to Migrate Public Folder to Office 365 Shared Mailbox -

Migrating Public Folder to Office 365 Shared Mailbox manually is a complex process that requires careful execution. First, ensure that the Public Folder is in a supported Exchange version. Then, create a CSV mapping file to define the folder structure and use PowerShell commands to export the data to a PST file. Next, upload the PST to Azure Storage using the Microsoft Network Upload method or the Outlook Import/Export feature. Finally, import the PST data into the Shared Mailbox. However, this manual method comes with several challenges, including the risk of data loss, permission issues, extended downtime, and a lack of automation for bulk migration.
