This is the preferred method for moving files from your D: drive to your OneDrive for Business.
This will require you to install the client and configure a few settings, but it is very easy to do.
Please note that this is a full sync client and will replicate the selected D: drive folder on your workstation to OneDrive for Business. This will include deleting files so any file or folder deleted from the OneDrive sync folder on D: will also remove the corresponding file or folder within your OneDrive cloud storage. We strongly advise that no files are deleted from either location. They will be removed as part of the upgrade to MD10 which will occur shortly.
This sync client is only transferring files from D: to OneDrive as part of the move for you from MD7 to MD10.
THIS MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
