What are SharePoint & OneDrive?

SharePoint is Microsoft's platform for sharing files, building team sites and creating a company intranet: a central place where documents, policies and news live. OneDrive is your personal cloud storage that syncs files to every device and backs them up automatically. Together, they give your business a proper system for storing, sharing and collaborating on files, with control over who sees what. Think of OneDrive as your personal filing cabinet and SharePoint as the shared office shelves.

What we set up & look after

SharePoint team sites

Shared spaces for each team or project, with documents, conversations and tasks in one place.

OneDrive sync & backup

Personal files synced across devices and backed up to the cloud automatically, so a lost USB drive isn't a lost file.

Permissions & sharing rules

The right people see the right files, with sharing rules that make sense.

Company intranet

A simple internal hub for company news, policies, forms and shared resources your team can actually find.

File migration

Files moved from old servers, local drives or other cloud platforms into SharePoint and OneDrive without the mess.

Document libraries & versioning

Organised document storage with version history, so you can always get back to an earlier copy.

Who it's for

  • Businesses with files scattered across desktops, shared drives and email that need a proper structure.
  • Teams who need to share documents safely without emailing files back and forth.
  • Offices moving off an old file server and wanting cloud storage that's organised from the start.
  • Anyone on Microsoft 365 who's barely touched SharePoint and wants it set up properly.

How it works

  1. A quick chat. We look at where your files live now and how your team shares them.
  2. A structure that fits. We design sites, libraries and permissions around how your business actually works.
  3. We move the files. Documents migrated from old servers, drives or other platforms without losing or breaking anything.
  4. Permissions locked in. Sharing rules and access set up so the right people see the right things.
  5. Looked after. Ongoing support, changes as your business grows, and a real person to call.

Why WaTo for SharePoint & OneDrive

  • A real person answers, not a help-desk ticket.
  • We design the structure around your business, not dump everything into one big folder.
  • Files migrated carefully, so documents don't go missing and links don't break.
  • One local team for IT, web, hosting and more, with one number to call.
  • Adelaide owned since 2001, supporting businesses across SA and Australia-wide remotely.

SharePoint & OneDrive questions

What's the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive?

OneDrive is your personal cloud storage, with files synced to your devices. SharePoint is for shared team files, sites and intranets. They work together inside Microsoft 365, and we set both up so your team knows where things go.

Can you move files from our old server?

Yes. We migrate files from on-site servers, NAS drives, Dropbox, Google Drive or wherever they live now, with folder structures and permissions carried across.

Will our team need training?

SharePoint and OneDrive are straightforward once set up properly. We walk your team through the basics so they're comfortable from day one.

Is it safe to store business files in the cloud?

Yes, with the right settings. Microsoft's security is strong, and we add proper permissions, sharing rules and backup so your data is protected and recoverable.

How quickly do you respond?

Fast. You talk to a real person, not a call queue. For urgent issues we're often on-site within the hour across Adelaide, with remote support Australia-wide.

Our story

Built in Adelaide, since 2001

WaTo Consulting was founded by John Watson in Adelaide in 2001. Over two decades it's earned a name for tailored work across a wide range of industries, helping businesses of every size run more smoothly, work more efficiently and grow steadily, without blowing the budget or disrupting the day-to-day.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) played a significant part in shaping what WaTo became. She brought real expertise and a clear vision for where it could go: expanding the business, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and raising the standard of how things are done. A great deal of what WaTo is, we owe to her.

Today it's all tailored, never off-the-shelf: IT & Digital, Business & Web Hosting, built around what each client actually needs. Over the years those areas have come together under one roof: our IT & Digital, Currency, Business and Web work (through Whosts.au) now all sit within WaTo Consulting. One team, one standard, looking after the lot.

When you work with us, you're a partner, not just a client.
