For anyone familiar with SharePoint, the debate over metadata vs. folders<\/a> in SharePoint has likely come up more than once. It\u2019s a topic that can spark spirited conversations, especially when working with end users who are often resistant to change. After years of working with SharePoint, I\u2019ve found that both folders and metadata have their place in building effective solutions. The key lies in striking the right balance and designing a system that respects how people like to work while unlocking the power of metadata.<\/p>\n

What is Metadata?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Metadata is often described as \u201cdata about data.\u201d In the context of SharePoint, it\u2019s the descriptive information attached to a file that makes it easier to find, filter, and group content. Examples of metadata include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Document Type<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g., template, policy, procedure)<\/li>\n
  • Function<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g., Human Resources, Finance, Marketing)<\/li>\n
  • Author<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Date Created<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Unlike folders, metadata allows you to sort and filter documents dynamically. For example, you can view all templates across a library regardless of which folder they\u2019re stored in, or quickly filter documents by department.<\/p>\n

    Why Folders Still Matter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Let\u2019s be honest: folders are familiar, and for many users, they\u2019re comfortable. People have been working with folder structures for decades. However, folders have their limitations:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Files can get buried deep<\/strong>\u00a0in overly complex hierarchies.<\/li>\n
    • Rigid organisation:<\/strong>\u00a0A document can only exist in one folder, which can make finding it a challenge if multiple teams need access.<\/li>\n
    • Limited searchability:<\/strong>\u00a0SharePoint search works better with metadata than folders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Case for Combining Metadata and Folders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      The good news is that you don\u2019t have to choose one over the other. By leveraging column default tagging<\/strong>\u00a0in SharePoint, you can integrate folders with metadata seamlessly. This approach helps ease users into metadata while maintaining the folder structures they know and love.<\/p>\n

      Building the Solution: A Practical Example<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Imagine a SharePoint library for Human Resources<\/strong>. This library contains different types of documents such as policies, templates, and procedures. You decide to structure the library with folders to group documents by type:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Policies<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Templates<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Procedures<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        By using column default tagging<\/strong>, each folder automatically applies metadata to its contents:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Documents in the \u201cPolicies\u201d folder are automatically tagged with the metadata Document Type = Policy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        • Documents in the \u201cTemplates\u201d folder are tagged with Document Type = Template<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        • Documents in the \u201cProcedures\u201d folder are tagged with Document Type = Procedure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          In addition, you could use metadata to tag the entire library with Function = Human Resources<\/strong>, ensuring every document has a consistent functional classification.<\/p>\n

          Metadata Unlocks Powerful Views<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Once your library is structured with metadata, you can create a variety of views to cater to different needs:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • By Document Type:<\/strong>\u00a0Group all templates, policies, and procedures regardless of their folder.<\/li>\n
          • By Function:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re managing documents for multiple departments, users can filter for HR-specific content.<\/li>\n
          • By Last Modified Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Show the most recently updated documents across the library.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            These views make it easier for everyone to find what they need, whether they\u2019re comfortable navigating folders or prefer metadata-driven filters.<\/p>\n

            Best Practices for Using Folders with Metadata<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            If you\u2019re incorporating folders into your SharePoint library, keep these best practices in mind:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Limit folder depth:<\/strong>\u00a0Stick to a maximum of two levels deep to avoid the \u201cfolder maze\u201d problem.<\/li>\n
            • Default metadata tagging:<\/strong>\u00a0Use column default tagging to automatically apply metadata to files added to folders.<\/li>\n
            • Educate users:<\/strong>\u00a0Teach users how to switch between folder navigation and metadata-driven views. This helps them appreciate the benefits of both.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              A Balanced Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Folders and metadata don\u2019t have to be adversaries. By designing your SharePoint libraries thoughtfully, you can blend the familiarity of folders with the power of metadata. This approach ensures your users are comfortable while taking full advantage of SharePoint\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n
