We want to move our file server to SharePoint/OneDrive.
Migration is feasible, but behaviour changes: path length, sync clients and permissions all differ.
Try this first
- 1Inventory the current share structure
- 2Tools: SharePoint Migration Tool or third party
- 3Pilot with one department first
- 4Train users on OneDrive sync, not as a new drive
When to bring us in
Many apps still write to UNC paths: keep a small file server or move to Azure Files.
