FileCabinet CS reaches end-of-life on December 31, 2027, and every firm on it has to move its archive somewhere. For firms running Google Workspace, Google Drive is a natural destination. Liscio will extract your FileCabinet CS archive and deliver it organized, with your original folder structure and file names intact, in a secure location that makes it easy to move into Google Drive. There is no requirement to subscribe to Liscio to complete the move. Learn how Liscio’s FileCabinet CS migration service works.

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

Google Drive’s own search indexes file names and text. That only helps if the files arrive organized, and a raw FileCabinet CS export loses the folder structure your staff rely on. Liscio keeps your client folders, folder structure, and file names intact, with double extensions and naming conflicts cleaned up, so Drive opens on the archive your staff already know instead of a wall of loose PDFs.

That is the through-line across every destination we support: your archive arrives in the structure your staff already know. Want every document classified and renamed to your firm’s standard too? We can add that as a custom build, and it is built in when Liscio is your destination. See all destinations for the full list.

Why Google Drive as your destination

If your firm already runs on Google Workspace, Google Drive is the destination that keeps everything in one ecosystem you are already paying for. Your team gets to your FileCabinet CS archive from the same Drive they use for everything else, with Google’s sharing, permissions, and search on top. There is no new platform to buy and no second login to manage.

How the migration works

  1. Liscio extracts your FileCabinet CS archive and reconstitutes each document into a complete, readable PDF.
  2. Your folder structure and file names are preserved, with double extensions, naming conflicts, and characters the destination does not allow cleaned up.
  3. Liscio runs a quality check and delivers the organized archive in a secure location, ready for you to move into Google Drive.
  4. Your files are yours, in Google Drive, with no ongoing Liscio subscription required.
