FileCabinet CS reaches end-of-life on December 31, 2027, and every firm on it has to move its archive somewhere. For firms using Box as their document store, Box is a natural destination. Liscio will migrate your FileCabinet CS archive to Box, with every document classified and searchable on arrival, and with no requirement to subscribe to Liscio to complete the move.

First, the files have to come out of FileCabinet CS properly

FileCabinet CS does not store documents as files in folders. It holds them as page objects in a legacy OLE Structured Storage format, so each document has to be reconstituted into a usable PDF before it can go anywhere. A raw export also strips the folder organization you see on screen. (Full detail here.) This is true no matter which destination you pick, and it is the part firms underestimate.

What Liscio does that a file transfer does not

Box’s governance and retention features work on files as they arrive. If those files come in as an unlabeled FileCabinet CS export, your retention and permission policies have nothing meaningful to key on. File Intelligence classifies and tags each document first, so your Box policies and search operate on an archive that is actually organized by document type and year.

That is the through-line across every destination we support: the place holds the files, and File Intelligence makes them findable. See all destinations for the full list.

Why Box as your destination

Box is a common choice for firms that want enterprise-grade permissions, retention, and compliance controls on their document store. Migrating your FileCabinet CS archive into Box puts a decade of client history under the same governance rules you already apply to everything else, without standing up a separate system to hold it.

How the migration works

  1. Liscio extracts your FileCabinet CS archive and reconstitutes each document into a complete, readable PDF.
  2. File Intelligence classifies, tags, and renames each document to your firm’s standard.
  3. The organized archive is placed in Box, searchable by issuer, year, entity, and form type.
  4. Your files are yours, in Box, with no ongoing Liscio subscription required.
