FolderLift finds invalid names and overly long paths before they become a problem, provisions new sites with their permissions and copies incrementally, as often as you like, right up to the cut-over.
Version 1.7.0 · Windows 10/11 & Server 2016+ · installs without admin rights
On first start Windows SmartScreen asks: “More info” → “Run anyway”.
One click on “Sign in with Microsoft”, then sign in with MFA in the browser. No app registration, no client ID.
Pick a folder on the file server on the left, a site, library or folder on the right. Or import hundreds of mappings from a CSV.
Invalid names, paths over 400 characters, oversized files, missing groups: you see it all before anything happens.
Provision new sites with permissions and copy. Repeated runs only transfer what has changed.
Not a suite with a hundred switches, but exactly what matters when moving from a file server to SharePoint.
One click analyzes the folder: file count, size, names that SharePoint rejects, and paths that scrape the 400-character limit, before anything is created or copied.
✓ 18,412 files · 1,906 folders · 12.6 GB
⚠ Longest target path approx. 383 of 400 characters
✕ _vti_alt.docx – name not allowed in SharePoint
· 12 system files (Thumbs.db, ~$…) are skipped
New sites with template, language and owner. Your groups land straight on members and visitors.
Copy today, catch up tomorrow: every further run transfers only new and changed files.
An existing ShareGate is used, otherwise FolderLift copies on its own, with time stamps.

A Windows machine with access to the file server, PowerShell 7 and a Microsoft 365 account with SharePoint administrator rights. The trial runs on Windows 10/11; with a Standard or Partner license it also runs on Windows Server 2016 and newer. The setup assistant installs PnP.PowerShell on first start. On the first sign-in, an administrator consents once for the organization. No app registration of your own is required.
Yes. FolderLift is new, so the Windows SmartScreen filter does not know the installer yet. In the browser choose “Keep”, and on start click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. The install needs no admin rights and lands only in your user profile.
No. If ShareGate Desktop is installed, FolderLift uses it for the copy, with reports and high throughput. Without ShareGate, FolderLift copies on its own via PnP, also incrementally.
No. The source is read only. Changes happen only in the target tenant, and only after you have checked and clicked “Migrate”.
Browsing and checking keep working. To migrate you then need a license key. Your jobs and settings are preserved.
Right after payment: the key appears on the confirmation page and also arrives by email, together with a license file. In FolderLift, click the license status at the top right, paste it in, done. No internet connection needed.
Yes. With a Standard or Partner license, FolderLift also runs on Windows Server 2016 and newer, ideal right on the file server. The free trial is limited to Windows 10/11.
Standard is for your own company and its Microsoft 365 tenant, on any number of machines. Partner is for IT service providers who migrate for several clients, and covers any number of tenants. If your company changes tenant, we reissue the Standard license free of charge.
No, there is no subscription. The license runs for twelve months. If you want to continue, you simply buy a new annual license.
No. FolderLift runs only on your machine and talks solely to your Microsoft 365 tenant. No telemetry, no cloud in between.
30 days, all features, no sign-up. You simply keep your jobs when you buy.
