Many organizations aspire to migrate their content sitting in Legacy File Shares to SharePoint to make use of all the enterprise collaboration and document management features of the platform. However, IT Teams are are always concerned about the SQL Server Storage burdens which might lead to :
- Higher storage costs.
- End-users will suffer from Performance Degradation
- Slow backup and restore time.
In today’s video, I’ll show you how to leave content in File Share and surface it through SharePoint while leveraging the full capabilities of the platform, I’ll be using AvePoint’s DocAve Connector for this.

- Different options for migration to Office 365 SharePoint Online
& here are the planned demos:
