Where Can You Migrate FileCabinet CS Files? Every Destination, No Lock-In

Most FileCabinet CS migration offers move your files to one place: the vendor’s own platform. That is not a migration service, it is a platform sale with the files as leverage. Liscio takes the opposite position. We extract your FileCabinet CS archive with its folder structure intact and deliver it in a secure location that makes it easy to move into the destination your firm chooses, with no requirement to subscribe to Liscio afterward. That is how Liscio’s FileCabinet CS migration service works.

With FileCabinet CS reaching end-of-life on December 31, 2027, the destination decision should be yours, not your migration vendor’s. This page lists where we can put your files and links to the details for each.

The one thing that is the same everywhere: your structure comes with you

The destination is your choice. What does not change is what happens to the files on the way there. FileCabinet CS stores documents as page objects in a legacy OLE Structured Storage format, so any migration first has to reconstitute them into usable PDFs. (The export guide explains why that is hard.) A basic file transfer stops there and hands you a flat pile of PDFs.

Liscio goes further: every drawer comes out with its original folder structure and file names, with application folders flattened, double extensions fixed, and naming conflicts resolved. That is the same whether you choose Google Drive or a network drive in your own office. If you want each document classified, tagged, and renamed by issuer, year, entity, and form type, Liscio’s File Intelligence does that automatically when Liscio is your destination, and we can add it as a custom build for any other destination.

Cloud storage and Microsoft 365

The most common destinations, and the fastest technical path once extraction is done. All are supported today.

FileCabinet CS to SharePoint — for firms standardizing on Microsoft 365.
FileCabinet CS to OneDrive — Microsoft 365 storage without the SharePoint site structure.
FileCabinet CS to Google Drive — for firms on Google Workspace.
FileCabinet CS to Box — for firms with Box as their document store.
FileCabinet CS to Dropbox — for firms running Dropbox Business.

Local and self-hosted

The destinations no SaaS competitor will offer, because moving your files onto your own hardware ends their subscription. If your firm wants its archive in-house, this is the path.

FileCabinet CS to a Windows network drive — keep the archive on your own server or NAS, fully in your control.

Document management systems

For firms that want their files in another DMS, including a competitor’s. We get your files ready to go where you want them, full stop.

FileCabinet CS to FileCenter — move into FileCenter with your folder structure intact.
FileCabinet CS to Liscio — land in Liscio, the admin layer between firm and client, where File Intelligence reads, names and files each document.

Not sure which destination is right?

The migration guide walks through how to choose, and the destination-comparison pieces cover the platform decisions directly: TaxDome vs Liscio and Canopy vs Liscio. The short version: if you already pay for a cloud storage tenancy, land there; if you want in-house control, use a network drive; if you want documents that classify themselves going forward, use Liscio. In every case, the migration itself does not lock you in.

Common questions

Where can I migrate my FileCabinet CS files?

Liscio delivers your FileCabinet CS archive ready to move into Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, OneDrive, a Windows network drive, FileCenter, or Liscio. You choose the destination, and there is no requirement to subscribe to Liscio to complete the migration. In every case your folder structure and file names come over intact. Classification and renaming to your firm's standard is built in when Liscio is the destination and available as a custom build everywhere else.

Do I have to move my FileCabinet CS files to Liscio's platform?

No. Liscio's migration is deliberately separated from platform adoption. We deliver your files ready to move into the destination your firm chooses, including cloud storage you already pay for or a drive in your own office, without requiring an ongoing Liscio subscription.

Can you migrate FileCabinet CS to a competitor's system?

Yes. If you want your files in another document management system such as FileCenter, we will deliver them organized and ready to move there. Your files going wherever you want, including to a competitor, is what no lock-in actually means.

Does the destination change how my files are organized?

Not with the standard migration. Wherever you go, your archive keeps its FileCabinet CS folder structure and file names, cleaned up. If you choose Liscio, File Intelligence classifies, tags, and renames each document by issuer, year, entity, and form type. For other destinations, that classification is available as a custom build.

Which destination is fastest?

Cloud destinations (Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, OneDrive) are typically the fastest technical path once extraction is complete, because they are standard cloud file targets. Local and DMS destinations are also supported; timelines depend on scope and environment. The extraction work is the same across all of them.
