Where can I migrate my FileCabinet CS files?

Liscio migrates FileCabinet CS archives to 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 the documents are classified, tagged, and renamed on arrival so the archive is searchable.

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

No. Liscio's migration is deliberately separated from platform adoption. We move your files to 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 put them there, classified on arrival. Moving your files wherever you want, including to a competitor, is what no lock-in actually means.

Does the destination change how my files are organized?

The destination holds the files; File Intelligence organizes them. Regardless of which destination you choose, each document is classified, tagged, and renamed to your firm's standard so the archive is searchable by issuer, year, entity, and form type. The organization travels with the files, not with the platform.

Which destination is fastest?

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

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, run it through File Intelligence so it lands classified and searchable, and place it in the destination your firm chooses, with no requirement to subscribe to Liscio afterward.

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: File Intelligence

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 file transfer stops there and hands you a flat pile of PDFs.

Liscio’s File Intelligence goes further: it reads each reconstituted document and classifies, tags, and renames it to your firm’s standard, so wherever the archive lands, it is searchable by issuer, year, entity, and form type. That is the difference between moving files and migrating them, and it is the same whether you choose Google Drive or a network drive in your own office. The destination holds the files; File Intelligence makes them findable.

Cloud storage and Microsoft 365

The most common destinations, and the fastest technical path once extraction and classification are 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 move your files where you want them, full stop.

FileCabinet CS to FileCenter — migrate into FileCenter with your documents classified on arrival.
FileCabinet CS to Liscio — land in Liscio’s File Intelligence platform, where classification is native.

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.
