Our company was acquired and my OneDrive with 80GB has to move into the new tenant. What are the ways to do it?
How do I move OneDrive files from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another?

There are three common ways.
1. Admin tools. Microsoft has been building cross tenant migration features for SharePoint and OneDrive, so ask your admin to check the current Microsoft documentation. They work at the account level and keep more than a copy and paste does.
2. Sync client. Sign in to both accounts in the OneDrive sync app on one PC. Both appear as separate folders in File Explorer. Make sure Files On-Demand is set to download everything, then copy files from one folder to the other.
3. Download and upload. Slow for 80GB but works.
Shared links, version history and permissions do not move with a copy. Document them first, and recreate sharing in the new tenant.
Used the sync client method over the weekend. All files arrived. Thanks.
