# Migration Behavior

These transfer rules remain the same across the guided workflow. Use them to predict whether an item transfers, evaluate a dry-run result, plan around provider limits, or diagnose a slow or partial migration.

## File Matching and Data Integrity

[File Matching and Data Integrity](/migration-behavior/file-matching-and-data-integrity.md) explains how Mover compares paths and file sizes, what it does not compare, and when it detects a source file changing during a run.

## File and Folder Compatibility

[File and Folder Compatibility](/migration-behavior/file-and-folder-compatibility.md) covers case and accent matching, duplicate names, invalid path characters, folder item limits, and maximum folder depth.

## Performance and Rate Limits

[Performance and Rate Limits](/migration-behavior/performance-and-rate-limits.md) explains the factors that determine migration duration, which cloud content platforms commonly throttle requests, how Mover responds, and which controls are available to the operator.

Provider-specific behavior remains on each page under [Connections](/connections.md).
