The problem it solves

Uploading files to SharePoint one at a time is tedious, especially when you need to do it regularly for the same folder. It's an easy task to forget or put off, and files pile up waiting to be filed.

Who it fits

A business or IT team that regularly moves files into a shared SharePoint folder.

How it works

  1. The process starts with a file ready to upload
  2. The system signs in to Microsoft using stored access details
  3. The file is renamed and matched to the destination folder
  4. The file is uploaded directly to your SharePoint folder
What you get

Documents already sitting in the right folder

Files land directly in the right SharePoint folder, renamed and ready, without anyone dragging and dropping them there.

What you get

A file placed in the correct SharePoint folder without anyone uploading it by hand.

What you need

A Microsoft 365 account with SharePoint access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
