How to Create SharePoint Document Library
SharePoint Document Libraries are a must if you have a business and want to share and collaborate on files and folders. In this video, we’ll look at how to set them up, how to add permissions, how to migrate all of your old documents and much more!
But before we start, my name is Jonathan Edwards, and I am a business IT consultant from Yorkshire in the UK. I have an IT company and we help businesses with their IT support and their cyber security.
Why use a SharePoint document Library?
To begin with, let’s talk about what SharePoint is. SharePoint is included with most of the Microsoft 365 plans that you buy. It’s a huge collaborative tool that you can use to do lots of things like create websites or as a secure place to store information. In this video, we’re going to be focussing on the SharePoint document libraries.
Why use a SharePoint document library over having a server in your office? The data is stored in the cloud, you don’t have to worry about servers getting old and failing. It’s much more cost-effective and less hassle for you and your business.
What about if you’re using another cloud tool like Google Drive or Dropbox? I think the key advantage SharePoint and Microsoft 365 have over other cloud products is the integration with Microsoft office tools like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. If you’re using these, Microsoft 365 is the way to go.
Enjoy the video!

Good luck!
Regarding data being deleted from the recycle bin, not quite right that it's deleted forever, SharePoint has a second-level recycle bin accessible to site admins. And even after deletion from the 2nd-level recycle bin, Microsoft Support can recover data within 14-days. Nice video! I like that you included the file explorer sync, often missing from tutorials but oh so useful! Another useful file migration tool is Migration Manager in the SharePoint Admin Center, you can use this to migrate from Google Drive (and Workspaces), Dropbox, Box etc.
You're videos a great! Thank you !
Very helpful, thank you!
Fantastic info thank you
Great video
Great video, If you would kindly reply, 1. when creating a new doc set, can I create a children doc list to inherit properties of the doc set instead of a word doc as demonstrated? 2. What is the best way to auto-updating a file for a doc to use lookup on?
... thanks for that 👍
If i wanted to create a marketing / pitch slide repository so that my CEO could select the different (approved/final) slides to include, combine them, edit and save as a single "client pitch", how best do I do this? I'm struggling to see the benefit of sharepoint vs OneDrive.
Great tutorial! Does a time constraint exist for restoring a file's history?
any update to this video. Migration tool today looks different

@@bearded365guy Thank you very much, Sir.
Great info, but now I am a bit confused. For a small company, should we use onedrive for business or sharepoint document library?
Can you easily migrate all documents and folders from my OneDrive to SharePoint?
Can these be indexed? So, if you really are creating a document library, users can search an index and then go directly to the required document?
Can you elaborate on sharing permission? Also, can you make the folders "permanent" meaning people can add documents but not move or delete the entire folder?
Can I do this even if my company uses Google email servers?

Is it possible to synch between an on-premises server and SharePoint?

Yes it is
Didn't cover how to add a document library to a site, only how to create a site and use it's default document library. I think this is a bit misleading.
