One Time, Delta Migration to SharePoint from Citrix ShareFile
Are you an enterprise planning to perform migration to SharePoint from Citrix ShareFile? Achieving a complete replication of data from the ShareFile cloud to the SharePoint cloud requires more than a basic transfer method.
You will need a one-time and delta migration to transfer all your ShareFile data to SharePoint. This blog post provides insights into the phases to cover during a one-time and delta migration when transitioning to SharePoint.
Phases in One-Time Migration During ShareFile to SharePoint Transfer
1. Planning
Diligent planning is the crucial phase when you initiate ShareFile to SharePoint transfer. Define the scope of your transfer, which includes the ShareFile data to migrate, and decide upon the migration timeline. Plan and assign the migration roles and responsibilities before you transfer ShareFile files to SharePoint.
2. Pre-Migration
Analyze your current ShareFile cloud data and determine the ShareFile user accounts to migrate the necessary features to transfer and analyze the access permissions in ShareFile and SharePoint cloud. Through pre-migration analysis, you can identify and implement the required prerequisites for a successful migration from ShareFile to SharePoint Online.
3. Prepare Your New SharePoint Environment
Before proceeding to move data from ShareFile to SharePoint, ensure the SharePoint cloud suite can accommodate the ShareFile data. Prepare your new SharePoint environment by configuring the required user accounts and assigning the appropriate settings. It is also essential to replicate the same hierarchy and structure in the SharePoint cloud as available in the ShareFile cloud.
4. Choose an Advanced SharePoint Migration Tool
Choosing the right Office 365 migration tool is key to a smooth migration to SharePoint from Citrix ShareFile. Migrate to SharePoint from ShareFile cloud using a reliable migration tool that allows you to customize the migration settings. When using an enterprise-grade Microsoft SharePoint migration tool, you can perform one-time migration in batches rather than moving your entire ShareFile dataset in a single operation.
5. Post-Migration Validation
Verify if you have transferred all the ShareFile data to SharePoint. Perform extensive validation by comparing ShareFile data with that of your new SharePoint cloud. Analyze the migration report thoroughly and verify every detail. In the event of any discrepancies, resolve the issues to ensure data accuracy.
Parameters to check in migration reports include:
- Number of users and the transferred ShareFile data size
- Total time taken for the migration
- Status for files that have gone into a conflict
- Status for files showing a conflict warning
6. File Permission Mapping
Ensure that the file permission settings are intact post-migration to ensure data integrity. However, you can face challenges in transferring permissions from ShareFile to SharePoint due to variations in permission models. Our SharePoint migration tool helps enterprises retain complete replication when migrating permissions.

Phases in Delta Migration to SharePoint from ShareFile
1. Monitor the Changes
Take a keen observation of the changes taking place in the ShareFile cloud environment during the ongoing one-time migration. Since teams cannot be idle during a migration, changes can happen in the source cloud when performing a one-time migration. New changes like data insertion, updating, or deletion can occur, which you must copy to the SharePoint cloud.
2. Execute Delta Migration
Choose a migration tool capable of performing a delta migration to transfer the incremental changes to the SharePoint cloud. This eliminates the need to migrate all files again in case of new changes made in the ShareFile cloud.
3. Verification and Decommissioning
Validate the delta migration in the same way you verified during the one-time migration. Check if there are any mismatches in the data volume by analyzing the migration reports.
Once your internal IT team confirms that all the necessary ShareFile data has transferred successfully to SharePoint, you can decommission the source cloud.
