SharePrep simplifies the process of correcting file and folder names to comply with SharePoint's limitations through a user-friendly utility program. This ensures that data is properly imported, as SharePoint has more restrictions than typical Windows operation.
If you're preparing to import data into Microsoft's SharePoint, SharePrep is an excellent utility to help you. You might be surprised to learn that file and folder names within SharePoint have more restrictions than you may be used to with normal Windows operation.
Thankfully, SharePrep makes it a breeze to check your file and folder names, search for any known SharePoint restrictions, and rename them automatically. With a convenient and user-friendly interface, you'll be able to define the action to be used for each restricted character. You can delete it, replace it with a blank, or choose to replace it with a character of your own choosing.
Organizations are using SharePrep to correct filenames that may be causing issues during backups, as well as files downloaded from the web. The software even contains a window and set of functions that let you manually replace given character strings via the display window. Here, you can replace strings within Selected items, Displayed items, and All items within the given folder, including simple Find and Replace functions.
The software can also include subfolders with the Replace All function, streamlining your experience when abbreviating common names within your files and folders. Overall, SharePrep is a versatile and powerful utility for anyone who needs help preparing their files and folders for use with Microsoft's SharePoint.
