Hello All, we are using SPMT to go to SharePoint from many file shares. Sadly, we thought we can seed the data and copy the deltas but SPMT seems to copy everything every time and the jobs take forever to complete. We did not know that ahead of time and our option is sharegate but we have no budget and we have 8 different shares in different locations. It is cost prohibitive at this point especially we did not budget for a tool as we were told SPMT can do it. We prefer open source or something reasonably affordable as we need 8 licenses . Being end of the year, my budget is crushed and we must evacuate the file servers before end of the year !
Migrate to SharePoint using SPMT

We normally use ShareGate for all of our SharePoint migrations. Yes it is pricey but will deliver the job. However, for some migrations from other cloud sources, we use gs RichCopy enterprise. It is pretty low cost. It can copy from many cloud sources to any destination including file shares to SharePoint. It is gui based and compatible with SharePoint throttling. I would consider using it for our SharePoint migrations from file shares but we have a big contract with ShareGate which I am a wiz at
