FrameMaker and SharePoint

[Michael Norton]

We are moving from an older revision control system (StarTeam) to SharePoint v2013. We are using unstructured Frame and will mainly use SharePoint as a repository for our Frame, RoboHelp, Word, and associated graphics files. We are currently on FrameMaker v10, but will be moving to v12 soon. I have the connection set up in CMS | Configuration Manager and it seems to be working OK, VPN willing.

Any words to the wise from people who have already done this?

Our needs are pretty basic - IT wants us off StarTeam and we just want an accessible repository that a small number of writers (1-3) can easily get to.

So far, it seems a little slower than StarTeam and there is a 100 file upload limitation. Several of our books have more than 100 referenced graphics files. SharePoint doesn't seem to want to let me drag and drop folders, only files. This will make for a tedious transition, unless I can find a way around this limitation.
