We are currently planning to migrate from Microsoft SharePoint to Nextcloud, and I would like to ask if anyone here has experience with a similar migration.
Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:
What tools or methods are recommended for migrating data from SharePoint to Nextcloud
Best practices to ensure a smooth and reliable migration process
One of our main concerns is preserving:
File metadata
Permissions and access controls
If you have gone through this process or have any recommendations, tools, or lessons learned, I would appreciate your insights.
While Nextcloud is open source and the sky is the limit as far as user numbers and scale are concerned, your use case is beyond the community’s scope. The community forum is a community of volunteer enthusiasts helping and supporting fellow users. The community has a huge knowledge base and some clued up folks who gladly share their knowledge and expertise in the spirit of open source. Community support is not affiliated and not obligatory!
Mission critical deployments require professional consultants, engineers and supporters. The recommendation suggests, from ~100 users you’re looking at a corporate instance and from ~500 users you’re looking at an enterprise solution. Boundaries and limits are fluent and there’s plenty room for interpretation. Your best option is to talk to the folks at Nextcloud or affiliate partners. They’re certainly helpful and inclusive and will not turn you away.
