What is the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive?

OneDrive is your personal storage, SharePoint is the company's. Rule of thumb: if more than one person works with a document, or it still needs to exist in five years, it belongs in SharePoint. Both are in the same licence and behave the same in File Explorer.

Can you migrate our network drive?

Yes. We first map what is genuinely in use, because moving a drive one to one carries years of clutter with it. Then we migrate in phases, usually outside working hours, so nobody spends a day without their files.

Does our data stay in Europe?

Microsoft offers EU data residency for Microsoft 365. We configure the environment accordingly and document where each type of data sits, so you can demonstrate it during a GDPR request or an audit.

Tools & Technologies

Microsoft SharePoint

One place where company documents live, with permissions that hold up.

Communication

What is Microsoft SharePoint?

Microsoft SharePoint is the document core of Microsoft 365. It is where contracts, quotes, procedures and project files live, with version history, search and access rights per team or per client.

Most SMEs already use SharePoint without realising it: every Teams channel stores its files there. The difference between a company where files are findable and one where everyone keeps their own copy on the desktop almost always comes down to how SharePoint was set up, not whether it is used.

SharePoint is also the natural place to build automation on. A signed contract that files itself in the right client folder, a site report that moves to the archive once approved: you arrange that with Power Automate directly on the document library.

Key benefits of Microsoft SharePoint

Included in Microsoft 365, so no separate storage cost per user
Version history on every document: roll back without drama
Permissions per library, folder or document, including external guests
Search inside document content, not just filenames
Sync to File Explorer, so people work the way they are used to
Metadata and views instead of endless folder trees
Retention and archiving policies, which matters for GDPR and audits

Our approach

How we deploy Microsoft SharePoint

We design the document structure before moving anything: which libraries, which metadata, who may see what. Then we migrate from the network drive, Dropbox or Google Drive, keeping the folder structure intact and without the company losing a day. We connect the libraries to Teams, apply retention where it is required, and use Power Automate to build the flows that put documents in the right place on their own.

Discuss your project

What we add

A structure built around how you actually work, not around what the folder is called
Migration from a network drive or Drive without loss and without downtime
Permissions that are right from day one, including external client access
Automated document flows: approve, archive, forward
Training so the team works through File Explorer without breaking the structure

Real-world applications

What we build with Microsoft SharePoint

Replace the network drive with a searchable document library in the cloud

Client folder created automatically the moment a deal is won in HubSpot

Signed contracts that file themselves in the right client folder

Procedures and manuals in one place, with version history and read receipts

External access for a client or accountant to exactly one folder

Return on investment

What does Microsoft SharePoint deliver?

The average office worker spends a meaningful share of the week hunting for documents and working out which version is current. A well-designed SharePoint setup removes most of that, and on top of it saves the cost and maintenance of running your own file server.

Measurable results

We define clear KPIs before every project and measure results after implementation. You always know what the tool delivers.

Common pitfalls

What goes wrong without guidance

We've seen these mistakes with Microsoft SharePoint in practice. We help you avoid them from the start.

Copying a network drive one to one brings all the old mess along with it
Folder trees that are too deep break sync: metadata works better
Without agreements on permissions everyone sees everything, including what they should not
Large video files belong in Stream or Azure, not in a document library
