Data Migration to SharePoint.
Bring your files home to Microsoft 365. We move documents from file servers, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and old SharePoint into SharePoint Online — permissions intact, properly structured, with no downtime.

Why SharePoint Online?
More than storage — a place to work.
A file server or a third-party cloud just holds your files. SharePoint Online does more: versioning, co-authoring, search, security, and deep integration with Teams and Office — and if you're on Microsoft 365, you already own it.
The catch is that a good move isn't a straight copy. Dumping a messy file server into SharePoint just gives you a messy SharePoint. We design the structure first, then migrate into it cleanly.
We don't just copy — we organise
Most migrations fail by recreating years of clutter in a new home. We do it differently: design sensible sites and libraries, preserve every permission, and handle the path-length and naming quirks that break DIY migrations — so you land somewhere genuinely better.
What We Migrate From
Files from anywhere, into SharePoint.
Wherever your documents live today, we move them into a well-structured SharePoint Online — with permissions preserved.
On-Prem File Shares
Network drives and file servers, moved into SharePoint document libraries — accessible from anywhere, versioned, and backed up, with no server to maintain.
Box → SharePoint
Move off Box and consolidate into the Microsoft 365 you already pay for — files, folders, and sharing recreated cleanly in SharePoint.
Google Drive → SharePoint
My Drive and Shared Drives migrated into OneDrive and SharePoint, with native Google files converted to Office formats and sharing kept intact.
Dropbox → SharePoint
Personal and team Dropbox content moved into SharePoint and OneDrive — one less subscription, one more thing inside your Microsoft ecosystem.
SharePoint Server → Online
Retire on-premises SharePoint Server. We migrate sites, libraries, and version history to SharePoint Online and decommission the old infrastructure.
Other Cloud Storage
Egnyte, consolidating scattered OneDrive accounts, or any other file store — if it holds your documents, we can bring it into SharePoint.

How We Do It Properly
A migration that
lands somewhere better.
Not a copy-paste. A structured move designed to protect your data and improve how your team works.
Permissions Preserved
Who can see and edit what is recreated faithfully in SharePoint — the right access for the right people.
Structure & Versions Intact
Your folder hierarchy carries over, and where the source supports it, so does version history.
Zero-Downtime Coexistence
Files stay available throughout — we sync in the background and redirect users only at cutover.
Clean Information Architecture
We design sensible sites and libraries first — so you get organisation, not a digital junk drawer.
Post-Migration Support
We settle your team in, show them how to find and share files, and answer questions after cutover.
Our Proven Process
From scattered files to one
organised home.
A structured path that protects your data and improves your structure along the way.
Assess & Map
We inventory your content, sizes, and permissions, and flag anything that needs attention — like over-long paths or unsupported file names.
Design the Structure
We design the SharePoint sites, libraries, and permission model — turning a flat pile of folders into a structure that actually makes sense.
Migrate & Sync
Files move into the new structure with permissions intact, running alongside your current storage so nobody loses access.
Cutover & Support
We run a final sync, point everyone to the new location, and support your team as they get comfortable in SharePoint and Teams.
Is This You?
Signs it's time to move to SharePoint
File storage problems are easy to live with until they suddenly aren't. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation.
Paying for Box or Dropbox on top of M365
You're buying storage you already get with Microsoft 365 — that's money left on the table.
Files trapped on an office server
Remote staff fight with VPNs just to open a document, and there's no easy co-authoring.
Version chaos
"Final_v3_actual_FINAL.docx" — nobody's sure which copy is the real one.
Files disconnected from Teams
Your documents live in one place and your conversations in another, with no link between them.
Common Starting Points
What we move you off
Whatever your files sit in today, we've migrated it into SharePoint before. These are the sources we see most.
File Servers
NAS
Box
Dropbox
Google Drive
SharePoint Server
Egnyte
Likely no extra cost
If you're on Microsoft 365, SharePoint is already included — you may just stop paying elsewhere.
We manage it afterwards
Once your files are in SharePoint, we can govern and support it for you long-term.
Why TechSalty?
Migrations that actually improve things.
Just like salt brings out the best in every dish — the right structure brings out the best in SharePoint.
Microsoft Certified
SharePoint and Microsoft 365 are our specialty — we know the platform's quirks and how to work with them.
Zero Downtime
We sync in the background and run old and new in parallel — your files stay available throughout.
Nothing Lost
Every file and permission comes across, and we handle the naming and path issues that break DIY moves.
Structured, Not Dumped
We design the destination properly, so you end up more organised than you started — not less.
FAQs
Data Migration to SharePoint, answered
The questions businesses ask us most before moving their files to SharePoint.
We already pay for Box or Dropbox — why move to SharePoint?
The most immediate reason is cost: if you're on Microsoft 365, you're already paying for SharePoint and OneDrive, so a separate Box or Dropbox subscription is often money spent twice. Beyond that, SharePoint lives inside your Microsoft ecosystem — files connect directly to Teams, Outlook, and the Office apps, with co-authoring, version history, and enterprise security built in. Consolidating means less cost, fewer logins, and a more joined-up way of working.
Will our file sharing permissions carry over?
Yes — preserving access is central to how we work. We map who can see and edit each folder and file in your source system, then recreate that in SharePoint and OneDrive so the same people keep the same access. We validate permissions after migration rather than assuming they're right, so nothing is accidentally exposed or locked away.
Do we keep our version history?
Where the source has version history — like SharePoint Server, Box, or Google Drive — we bring it across wherever the migration tools support it. A plain file server has no versioning to migrate, but the good news is that SharePoint automatically versions everything from the moment your files arrive, so you gain proper version history going forward even if you never had it before.
What about really long file paths or unusual file names?
This is exactly where DIY migrations come unstuck. SharePoint has limits on total path length and rules about certain characters in file and folder names, and old file servers are full of deeply nested folders and quirky names that breach them. We detect these during the assessment and remediate them as part of the migration — shortening paths and cleaning names sensibly — so files don't silently fail to copy.
Will people lose access to their files during the move?
No. We copy your data into SharePoint in the background while your existing storage stays fully available, so your team keeps working normally throughout. Only at the planned cutover do we point everyone to the new location, and we run a final sync at that point to capture any last changes. Nothing is switched off until the new home is confirmed complete.
Should our files go to SharePoint, OneDrive, or Azure Files?
It depends on how the files are used. Shared team content belongs in SharePoint, where it connects to Teams and supports collaboration. An individual's personal working files belong in their OneDrive. And if you have a legacy application that needs a traditional drive-letter network share, Azure Files is the better fit — which we cover under our cloud migration service. We'll recommend the right mix during the assessment rather than forcing everything into one place.
Is moving from on-prem SharePoint Server to SharePoint Online difficult?
It's a well-trodden path, and one we handle regularly. We migrate your sites, document libraries, and version history to SharePoint Online, then help you retire the on-premises servers and the maintenance, patching, and hardware costs that come with them. Heavily customised legacy sites occasionally need a little rework, which we identify up front so the project stays predictable.
