Migrate a document library to/from a local directory — bidirectional.

  • Export (default): enumerate the library's files recursively and download them preserving the folder structure into a folder named after the library under the system temp dir (--target overrides).
  • Import (--import DIR): upload a local tree into the library with parallel workers (--concurrency), sharing a rate limiter that paces the fleet on Retry-After / X-SharePointHealthScore.

Permissions

Requires: read access to the library (export), write access (import).
