Hi y'all. I want to migrate my company's files from an in-house server to the cloud, but I want to make sure employees only have select access to certain files not the whole infrastructure. In my case, would you recommend creating a cloud library in OneDrive or SharePoint? I'm currently trying to manage permissions in SharePoint and it's getting a little tricky but maybe I'm just inexperienced?
Morning Abe, Our recommendation would be doing one Library per Map Drive Folder (from the server) i.e. - P:Drive (Sales) = Sales in SharePoint. Typically, with each SharePoint Library there is a corresponding O365 group where you can easily add/remove users to the library. (Can be managed from SharePoint Admin or O365 Admin.) If you have a super sensitive library (i.e. - payroll), we recommend that being created in OneDrive and then giving permissions to specific users from that OneDrive folder. **We do not recommend setting different permissions within subfolders in the same library. We prefer everyone in a particular library to have the same permissions. We are happy to answer any additional questions you might have.
@@axiomtech3627 Thank You!! I will be sure to give this a try. If I understand correctly, I will be creating a SharePoint Site for the company with documents everyone should have access to. Within this company site I will create subsites with different permissions for each group (sales, AR, AP, etc.) and then only grant people access to the subsites they need access to.

Thank you, very educational video.
