FileCabinet CS reaches end-of-life on December 31, 2027, and every firm on it has to move its archive somewhere. For firms running Dropbox Business, Dropbox is a natural destination. Liscio will migrate your FileCabinet CS archive to Dropbox, 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

Dropbox syncs and shares whatever you put in it, organized or not. Drop a raw FileCabinet CS export in and you have synced a mess. File Intelligence renames and tags each document to your firm’s standard before it lands, so what syncs across your team is a clean, searchable archive keyed to issuer, year, entity, and form type.

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 Dropbox as your destination

For firms already standardized on Dropbox Business, Dropbox is the destination that requires no new tooling and no change to how staff already sync and share files. Your FileCabinet CS archive lands in the same folder structure your team lives in, accessible from every device they already have set up.

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 Dropbox, searchable by issuer, year, entity, and form type.
  4. Your files are yours, in Dropbox, with no ongoing Liscio subscription required.
