The organization depended on a long‑standing on‑premises file share that had grown large and difficult to manage. The environment held hundreds of gigabytes of important content stored in deeply nested folders. The business needed a way to move everything to Azure without slowing daily work or breaking access.
Preserving existing NTFS permissions was critical. Users synchronized to Entra ID also needed seamless access to the new cloud location. Any disruption would impact productivity across multiple teams.
The migration required a solution that supported ongoing delta runs during the transition. These runs kept data synchronized while users continued working. The approach had to be reliable, repeatable, and secure. It also needed to handle incremental updates without risking accuracy or exposing sensitive content. Throughout the process, users needed a consistent and uninterrupted experience.
