Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a file server to SharePoint migration take?
A typical Houston business with 1-5 TB of data completes migration in 3-6 weeks. We run migrations during off-hours and validate file integrity at every stage. Larger datasets or complex permission structures may extend the timeline.
Will our folder structure stay the same in SharePoint?
We can replicate folder structures, but we recommend this as an opportunity to reorganize using metadata and libraries. Most Woodlands businesses find that a metadata-driven approach dramatically improves findability versus deep nested folders.
What about files that are too large for SharePoint?
SharePoint Online supports files up to 250 GB. For CAD files, video archives, or databases that exceed this or need specialized handling, we integrate Azure Blob Storage or keep specific shares on-premises with hybrid connectivity.
How do permissions transfer from the file server?
We audit existing NTFS permissions, map them to SharePoint groups and Entra ID security groups, and validate access before cutover. Houston businesses maintain the same access controls without starting from scratch.
Can employees still use mapped drives with SharePoint?
OneDrive sync provides a familiar File Explorer experience with mapped-drive-like access. Users see their SharePoint libraries as local folders while files sync to the cloud automatically.
Do you design custom SharePoint pages and branding?
Yes. We design branded SharePoint communication sites with custom layouts, company colors, department news sections, quick links, and event calendars tailored to how your Houston team works.
