FileCabinet CS Migration

Move your files anywhere. Or move them to a system that reads, names, and files them for you.

Thomson Reuters is shutting down FileCabinet CS on December 31, 2027. Liscio runs the expert-led, done-for-you migration, and we take your files wherever your firm wants them: SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, SmartVault, ShareFile, a network drive, or Liscio. Most systems lock you into one destination. We do not.

MIGRATION MADE SIMPLE

"Everything went great. The fee was exactly where it needed to be, especially compared to the high costs other providers wanted to charge for a conversion. Their pricing was just unrealistic."

WHY LISCIO

Modernize your back office without the high price tag

We move your files wherever your firm needs them. SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, SmartVault, ShareFile, or a local network drive. We organize the archive, transfer it, and set it up right. You do not need a Liscio subscription for us to move your files.

HOW IT MOVES

HOW IT WORKS

A "done-for-you" migration path

There is one destination that does more than store them. Move your files into Liscio and they arrive read and tagged: named to your firm's standard, sorted by client, year, and form type, the moment they land. That is the difference between files that are filed and files that are findable, and it is why most firms choosing where to go next choose Liscio.

Map & validate

We replicate your folder structures so your staff doesn't have to relearn how to find data.

Secure transfer

Our team handles exporting and uploading, using end-to-end encryption to keep client data safe.

Verify & launch

We conduct a final audit to ensure every file is exactly where it belongs before you go live.

Handled 100% by US-based Liscio specialists. Your firm's client data — SSNs, tax records, financials — never leaves the hands of full-time Liscio employees. Our migration team operates across Ohio, Kentucky, North Dakota, and California. No offshore contractors. No subcontracted third parties. SOC 2 certified.

Transparent pricing. No subscription required.

Flat-fee migration

  • Small firms (under 25GB) $2,000
  • Mid-size firms (25–100GB) $4,000
  • Large firms (100–500GB) $7,500+
  • Enterprise custom quote

Bundle & save: 50% off migration when paired with a 12-month Liscio File Folders agreement ($19/seat/month).

Your files go wherever you choose — Liscio, SmartVault, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, a network drive, or any other destination.

Ask any vendor these questions

  • Are the people handling my data your W-2 employees?
  • Are they US-based?
  • Can I see your SOC 2 Type II report?
  • If you use subcontractors, may I see their SOC 2 Type II report?

We can answer yes to all four.
