OneDrive to Iceberg migration

Migrate Microsoft OneDrive files to Apache Iceberg.

Design and execute the migration of spreadsheets, structured files and documents from Microsoft OneDrive. Tiles guides the work around your organisation’s goals, context and evidence.

Can Tiles physically migrate OneDrive files into Iceberg?

Yes. The OneDrive to Iceberg Tile uses a runner connected to your customer environment to discover files, design table mappings and execute an approved migration. Structured files become Iceberg tables. Documents and other unstructured files are copied to target storage, with metadata and available extracted text recorded in Iceberg. The runner reports actual progress and validates the created data.

A practical path
from here.

Connect once. Control the work in Tiles.

Connect a customer runner to your Microsoft 365 OneDrive folder, Iceberg catalog and destination storage. Credentials stay in the customer environment. The Tile shows the connection status and guides discovery, design and execution.

Let the source shape the design.

Discover the folder and profile the files. Review proposed tables, columns, source row counts and any files needing attention. CSV and Excel values are preserved as text; supported typed formats retain their types. Documents include extracted text where available, with originals preserved in full.

Run the migration and see the evidence.

Approve the design to create real target files and tables. Track progress, stop or retry a job, and download the validation report. The runner checks original-file hashes and reads back the Iceberg rows. OneDrive originals remain in place and unrelated target tables are not replaced.

Before you begin

Your questions,
answered.

What needs to be connected before a migration can run?

A customer runner needs authorised access to a Microsoft 365 OneDrive folder, a writable Iceberg catalog and target storage. The Tile includes a runner download and setup guide. Live transfers require those connections; no data is moved merely by opening the Tile.

What happens to PDFs, documents, images and other unstructured files?

Original files are copied to target storage. Iceberg records their source, version, checksum, location and available extracted text. Text extraction supports common document formats. Images and other binaries retain metadata and original bytes; OCR and transcription are not included.

Does the Tile delete the OneDrive originals?

No. This is a validated snapshot copy into new target tables. The OneDrive originals remain in place. Source deletion, continuous synchronisation and merging into existing tables are separate activities.

What scale does a migration job support?

A job supports up to 200 files, with a default 64 MiB limit per source file that can be configured up to 256 MiB on the runner. Use smaller source folders for larger estates. Blocked or changed files are reported for correction before execution.
