OneDrive Migration Tool

The classic Microsoft OneDrive LTI will retire on September 17, 2026.

After Sept. 17, any content links in courses from the classic OneDrive LTI will stop working; however, files created by the classic app will continue to be accessible through the Microsoft 365 Group and SharePoint site for the course. Any Microsoft OneDrive files submitted as part of Canvas assignments as External Tool submission types will remain available in SpeedGrader, and are managed in Canvas storage.

Course Collaborations created with the classic Microsoft OneDrive LTI cannot be migrated and should be re-created using the Microsoft 365 LTI (Microsoft Education) app in Canvas courses. Old Collaborations will fail to launch after September 17, 2026; however, the files will remain on the class Microsoft OneDrive Sharepoint site for archive access and retention.

The migration tool relies on data and services from the classic Microsoft OneDrive LTI app. The migration tool will retire with the classic Microsoft OneDrive LTI on September 17, 2026.
