Thanks, Montoya... and sorry about the delayed response. &nbsp;We intend to try this script and see how it works for us, but it may be a little beyond our understanding if we need to make any modifications to it. &nbsp;Will keep you posted. &nbsp;Thanks again.

Dragging files from Windows Explorer to a SharePoint folder changes the Modified Date to the current date in SharePoint. &nbsp;We have tried the SharePoint Migration Tool, and it doesn't change the date, but it is too slow for our needs. &nbsp;(Migrating 20 files to about an hour; we have way more than 20 files.)<br />
<br />
We found ShareGate, but its price is prohibitive for this small business. &nbsp;We saw some references to some PowerShell scripts, but we are wondering if those work the same as the SharePoint Migration Tool.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of a feasible way for us to move migrate several thousand files more quickly? &nbsp;Or more specifically, to avoid having the Modified Date being changed if we just drag and drop?
