Charles,
Your guidance was dead on. It’s a classic case that I have
seen since early SharePoint versions. Most customers don’t know that SharePoint
is *not* a replacement for file shares. In any way. And whatever overlap
there is between the two (i.e. search) the file system wins every time.
My question is, did they make this decision knowing that SharePoint
only support certain file types?
My other concern is on how you plan on making the file share accessible
to outside offices or entities? VPNs get expensive very fast far as
performance, support, administration, etc.
Regards,
Alex

Subject: [newtech-1] G Drive migration to Sharepoint
I am consulting to a government
organization. The headquarters has 2000 people and a G-Drive that
supports their efforts. Although the remote office have their own data
for the remaining 60,000 employees, the headquarters collects a lot of aggregate
data. I just found out they are planning to migrate everything on
their G Drive to SharePoint within a month and freeze the drive. My
opinion has been to use SharePoint for sign-on and collaboration and use a File
System for files.
Is there any merit in this or are they going in a wrong direction?
Thanks
Charles
