Insert PST Files into Microsoft 365 Manually

Open Outlook: Start the Outlook program in your computer and go to the "File" tab.
Select ‘Open & Export’: Opt for the "Open Outlook Data File," find and select the PST file for importing.
Add PST File: Select your desired PST file and click “OK.”
Copy Data to Microsoft 365: Drag and drop the required folders from your PST file to your Microsoft 365 mailbox.

While this method works, it is time-consuming, prone to errors, and requires Outlook to be set up.

You can use Microsoft's built-in tools to move PST files to Microsoft 365, but these tools are typically hard to use, take a long time and need to be set up correctly, especially when you have a lot of PST files or large ones. Using a professional product like TrustVare PST to Office 365 Converter is a better and easier way to do the migration procedure. I had the same problem when I needed to import a lot of PST files into Microsoft 365. The manual technique seemed too hard, so I used this application instead and it made the procedure go quite smoothly.

To move PST files, first install and launch the software, and then add the PST files or folders you want to move. After that, open the app and log in with your Microsoft 365 account information in a safe way. You can then look at the mailbox data and choose certain items or folders if you need to. After you have made your choice, choose Office 365 as the output option and begin the transfer. The program moves all of the selected data directly to your Microsoft 365 mailbox without losing any emails, attachments, or folder hierarchy. This makes it a safe and time-saving option.
