I work for a company with approx. 20 people. We have a central drive location that we save information that has multiple folders and each employee has a folder on that drive as well. We are working to clean this up with a more “standard” and “uniform” file management system. Does anyone have any suggestions on steps we can take to get this done? We have approximately 136 folders with who knows how many sub-folders in each. Many of these will be cleaned up and deleted in the process. Thanks for your help!

    Some tasks, such as this, can be better suited based on the business processes. Without knowing anything about your business it would be very hard to come up with a perfect solution.

    The only thing I can recomend is to backup this file system regularly. (Especially now before you “Clean up” the structure)

    Actually, your current approach seems pretty standard with each user having their own folder to place files on the file sharing server. One thing you might want is several group folders, places where people can share work for a given project.
