With intentional planning, you can set up your SharePoint experience proactively to make file storage cleaner, easier to navigate, and more secure.
During this session with Mytech Partners, explore the fundamental differences between SharePoint and traditional file servers. You'll also learn to:
-How to organize files and structure your SharePoint document library
-Build and organize an intuitive file structure in SharePoint to amplify your organization’s work

Based on the tens of thousands of videos over multiple years of people trying to explain Teams vs Shareponit features, should be a sign to Microsoft.
Just Crazy Awesome Content! So clearly put out and explained.
Very well done Nate, thanks for your work.
very very very very great information. So well organized and unique to what is typically available. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. It's hard to rethink and think out of the box, when working with files and folder structures for decades.
So true!
Good video. Thanks for sharing. And, Traction is a great book!
excellent presentation and I like the way you explain it all !
Great video. Thanks for publishing it! It gave me some ideas as we consider rolling out SharePoint document libraries.
Glad it was helpful!
That is really helpful, many thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
What if our users never ever use any of Microsoft web apps. only the desktop apps?
Great information! What happens with company template when the owner of the sharepoint site leave the company?
How would you perform a free form search of pdf, word, or text files to find a particular string? Thanks 😊
Possibility to upload this in 1080? Really tough to see. Thanks!
Wow! I have been intrenched in learning how to use SharePoint for my small company and although I learn something from each tutorial I review, yours finally made some sense to me. I was able to set up a test document library. We are a 3rd party management company that manages Senior Living Communities. And we have sets of docs (P&P, Forms, Best Practices, Agreements, HR, etc...for our core company but customizable to each client to recognize and acknowledge their differences. Your video was so helpful...thank you. I sat tonight and actually set up some documents with the metadata system and it makes so much sense. Do you folks offer any consulting outside of your region? We would certainly be interested in getting some guidance from you to avoid the bumps I am sure we will run into that you have already faced and resolved.
I need to learn more about permissions?
Either way, I am grateful that I found your video. Thank you.
Hi! So glad you found the information helpful! Yes we absolutely do consulting! Go ahead and send me an email at marketing@mytech.com - and I can get you some more information!
What is simple way for MS Teams Owner set up this views to find similair documents from multiple Document Libraries under the same MS Teams Sharepoint. Eg; Reports which is kept in different Document Libraries, as seperate document libraries for different department and each of them has their own reports. I want to pull out all files tag reports across the multiple Document Libraries under same MS Teams Sharepoint
Can different columns be assigned to multiple folders under 1 main folder in a document library?
We have document libraries and want to track usage but I was told that you can't get usage data with the document ID user downloaded. I find that very odd. They are telling is to join on file name. If the file changes, all the historical data means nothing. CAN you get the document ID into the usage data? I want to know when they downloaded the documents
My columns added are not showing up in the Filter button, what may cause?
What is your suggestion for uploading folders that are up to 2GB in size?
uploading 2gd size of document or a folder is doable from the browser but if you encountering an issue, you may try to explore ShareGate application.
Yeah, meradata/tag-based file organization is smooth, but what if your file server contains half a million files organized in 100.000 folders? There's no way to assign whatever tags you might come up with to all those files. So what do you do, other than just moving everything as is over to SharePoint?
if you have any organization type to point to, such as file naming convention, you can use that as keywords/metadata. Then, a feature that regularly gets overlooked is Column Default Values.
1, create your keyword columns and folders to match the content you'll move into it.
2, go into the library settings.
3, look for Column Default Values.
4, In there you can set the default value for your keyword columns for each folder.
5, copy your files into the appropriate folder and each file will automatically be tagged with your selected metadata.
After that, if you need to move the file elsewhere and the new location has the same keyword structure, the files will maintain their metadata as long as there is not a column default value set for the new location on the same keywork columns.
Another option I also like to use is the Enterprise Keywords column. In place of or with the individual keyword columns. It reduces the number of columns I need and any new keywords I enter are automatically available for others to use when they add a document.
I have employee folders and subfolders for specific documents to be placed. I also have some documents that don’t need a sub folder at this time. How can I make those documents be at the top
HI Diane - sorry for the late reply. I am not sure I 100% understand what you are trying to accomplish? If you are trying ensure that certain documents are always at the top of your list, I would recommend creating a meta data filed, and then filtering by the field so they can be listed at the top. For example.... if you had a tag that was "frequently used" you can then set a filter to have anything tagged "frequently used" at the top.
Ultimately by adding meta date to files, you somewhat break the traditional thinking of filtering through rows and rows of files. You use filters to only show files that have specific data... so it is easier to find.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. And I hope that is helpful.
Since documents are typically sorted alphabetically, my team sometimes adds a special character (usually an underscore) to the beginning of the naming convention, which then bumps that file to the top. Hopefully this can help in your case, best of luck!
1st 10 minutes is boring then after there is too many irrelevant comments that make it boring to continue watching
Thank you for your feedback @TheKarout12
This is way too wordy. 30mins too long just get to the point
