   That's the basics for moving your files around! For additional resources, Mover has more information on its support page.

• Be patient if moving a ton of files, as very large transfers can take several hours.
• Make sure you have enough storage space for your transfers! Eg moving 10GB of data into an account that's only covered for 5GB will not work.

• A mover.io account
• Readily available information for the storage sites you wish to use.
