One File, One Home
If your team is saving files in emails, chats, desktops, and shared drives, finding the “right” version can feel like chasing your tail. Rory’s tip: every important file needs one clear home—and for teams, that home should be SharePoint.
Try This Today:
Pick one source of truth
Decide where team files live (hint: SharePoint, not email attachments or personal OneDrives).
Stop sending attachments internally
Upload the file to SharePoint and share a link instead—everyone works from the same version, every time.
Use folders with intention
Organize files by purpose or project, not by person, so the whole team knows where to look.
Let version history do the work
Update the same file and trust SharePoint’s version control instead of creating “final_FINAL_v2” copies.
A little structure goes a long way. When files have one clear home, teams spend less time searching—and more time getting real work done.
