Hi Alll,
I am new to SharePoint and i am loving the product. Also new to this website.
We are in the middle of migration of 15.000 users to the cloud.
14.000 students and 1000 staff. (big school)
My question is what are the users experiencing if they want to work with non-office files.
Lets say a Autocad, Adobe Photoshop and all other kind of files. Some of them can be verry big.
1. Opening them in File explorer with a link to the SP library is working fine?
2. Are a lot of open connections from users using their File Explorer with a connection to SP giving a problem?
3. What can we do to make sure that users have a good users experience when we go live with non-office files.
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thank you
Aldo
Hi Aldo,
Seems like a cool project your working on.
Regarding your question, I’ll try to answer them, but I’m not 100% sure if its accurate, at least it might give you some insight.
1. Opening them in File explorer with a link to the SP library is working fine?
Opening files in File explorer relies on WebDAV. This should work fine.
2. Are a lot of open connections from users using their File Explorer with a connection to SP giving a problem?
The main issue with this might be bandwith. With a lot of users connecting and downloading files from Office365, you might need to calculate how much bandwith you need for Office365. Microsoft can provide an estimate on howmuch bandwith you’ll need. (This is not an exact science, more of an educated guess)
3. What can we do to make sure that users have a good users experience when we go live with non-office files.
As long as the users have the appropriate applications to open/use the files on their workstation, this should work fine as well.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
