Overview
Batch mode is an optimized way to upload high volume of data using special API provided by few of the platforms. Currently Dropbox, Dropbox For Business, Office 365 and OneDrive For Business have support for this feature. When running in batch mode, instead of committing one file at a time, files are committed in batches optimized for each platform.
To leverage the Bulk (Batch) Migration API, transfer accounts must be an Site Collection Administrator. Non-Administrator transfer accounts will default to use CSOM, even when batch mode is requested with the job.
Configure Your Job
Batch mode policy can be changed or disabled by setting transfer.batch_mode to:
none - disable the batch mode for all job's executions
initial - use batch mode for the first job execution only
always - (default behavior) use batch mode for all job executions
