Hello,


There really is not one (best practice) way to solve it, due to every organization having their way of working (AFAIK). However,

I would recommend creating channels in a team site, to replace the sub sites. In each channel you have your own chat history in Teams and a specific folder for that content. Each site (team site/com site), can have up to 25 TB data, so you should probably be fine with the limitations.

Regarding transferring data, if the sites are connected through a hub site, transfer is as simple as marking the folder, click on move and select appropriate site and so on.

Yours sincerely,
Aref Halmstrand

So if I understand correctly, you would advise creating multiple libraries/folders on 1 site?

I didn't know that you could transfer data through hub site connections, I'll try that out soon.

 

Thanks for the advice, really appreciated!

    Yes that is correct, multiple libraries in one site (but with channels).

    Please mark as best reply if this helped you out! 🙂
