Migrating user home directories to OneDrive for Business

Hi Everyone,

I need to migrate or move the HomeDrive of all users into OneDrive for Business for all 700+ user directories.

The entire users have been assigned of minimum Microsoft 365 Enterprise E1 and E3 license to allow 1 TB OneDrive quota.
Microsoft Office desktop client is already using Office 365.

Group Policy has been configured to map each users H: drive into \\DFSSVR05-VM\HomeDirs\%USERNAME%\
How to transfer all of their data into the OneDrive without manual Cut & Pasting to C:\Users\%USERNAME% \OneDrive\

Thanks in advance.

Hi @emizhang-msft what about the existing data inside the Users OneDrive?
will they be overwritten or kept duplicated?
