Hi y'all. I want to migrate my company's files from an in-house server to the cloud, but I want to make sure employees only have select access to certain files not the whole infrastructure. In my case, would you recommend creating a cloud library in OneDrive or SharePoint? I'm currently trying to manage permissions in SharePoint and it's getting a little tricky but maybe I'm just inexperienced?

Morning Abe, Our recommendation would be doing one Library per Map Drive Folder (from the server) i.e. - P:Drive (Sales) = Sales in SharePoint. Typically, with each SharePoint Library there is a corresponding O365 group where you can easily add/remove users to the library. (Can be managed from SharePoint Admin or O365 Admin.) If you have a super sensitive library (i.e. - payroll), we recommend that being created in OneDrive and then giving permissions to specific users from that OneDrive folder. **We do not recommend setting different permissions within subfolders in the same library. We prefer everyone in a particular library to have the same permissions. We are happy to answer any additional questions you might have.

@@axiomtech3627 Thank You!! I will be sure to give this a try. If I understand correctly, I will be creating a SharePoint Site for the company with documents everyone should have access to. Within this company site I will create subsites with different permissions for each group (sales, AR, AP, etc.) and then only grant people access to the subsites they need access to.
