Local Preflight

Local Preflight is a local, read-only tool designed to analyze and identify potential filename and path issues—such as invalid characters, reserved names, excessive length, and problematic temporary files—before migrating files to cloud storage services like SharePoint or OneDrive. Its main features include simulated destination path checks, extensive explanations of detected issues, the ability to scan local folders without uploading files, and support for exporting detailed CSV reports; it requires no email account, Microsoft login, or file uploads, ensuring privacy and security. This utility helps IT professionals, system administrators, and data migration teams prevent common migration blockers by proactively identifying and resolving filename and path errors, thereby avoiding migration failures or delays during cloud data transfer.

Local Preflight can be found in Managed File Transfer (MFT) categories.
