Re: Sharepoint as file storage

[Robert Cato]

We ran into several issues when one PHB wanted this:

File size limitation. Default size limit is 50mb for SharePoint. This can
be modified, but we did not.

File type exclusion. There is a laundry list of file types that are
prohibited from SP by default. This can be modified, and we did allow some.

Special characters. There are several characters that are not allowed in
file/folder names. This can not be modified.

URL length. We found out that SP would allow you to upload files/folders in
excess of the 400 character limit, but then the files/folders become
inaccessible due to URL being too long. The fix was to browse a lower level
folder and reduce the character count.

  SharePoint's unlikely to fix that.  :)

Re: Sharepoint as file storage

[Cameron]

Good readbut.I wonder how much of that is true with today's
versions of software/hardware.

Re the original post, we actually have a whack of files on our SharePoint
setup and everything seems to be fine.

Re: Sharepoint as file storage

[Kevin Lundy]

Many companies are moving in that direction.  For larger installations,
obviously there needs to be significant architecture design up front.

There are technologies (including some native to SQL) that can move the
BLOB storage outside of SQL.

Re: Sharepoint as file storage

[Harry Singh]

We're in the process of moving documents to SharePoint. I'm not handling
this project, but I have convinced management to purchase more storage as a
result. The combination of office 2010 and sharepoint 2010 so far appears
to be the ideal combination, especially if you have SharePoint Workspace
2010, which makes uploading documents en masse much simplier.

  By and of itself, that's neither good nor bad.

  It means your SharePoint servers will be under increased load.
You'll have to be able to support that, with hardware resources,
backup resources, admin staff, etc.  If you're not already planning
for that, you'll need to alert your director that a budget request
will be coming, and soon.

  It can make disaster recovery more complicated, since now things are
more complicated than just restoring some files.  Factor that into
your plans.

  It can mean file-based tools won't work, or won't work the same way.
 How that might impact you depends on the tools you use, or might want
to use.

  Personally, I find SharePoint is overrated in many cases (a solution
to a problem that doesn't really exist), but it does have its uses.
It can be used as a basic revision control system, for example.

Re: Sharepoint as file storage

[James Rankin]

Personally I think SharePoint is a better idea for serving files. Allows
checking in/out, version control, etc.

Have you ever done a duplicate file find and realised how much redundant
data is stored in old-style file shares? Not to mention inaccurate or
out-of-date stuff. Document management of some sort (not necessarily
SharePoint) is going to be necessary sooner or later.

RE: Sharepoint as file storage

[Kennedy, Jim]

I think it's awesome, assuming you have the server horsepower to service it. 
And I suspect you do since it doesn't take much. Clean easy to use web 
interface, check in/check outversion history area for notes by each users. 
What's not to love :)

The only thing to watch is bringing back a single version of a document that 
gets deleted or messed up by a user. You need to make sure your backup solution 
does item level restores/backups.
