One of the primary reasons for delaying a file share migration is the need to go through and "clean up" content so that it can better fit into the SharePoint paradigm.
FileLoader for SharePoint 2010 gives you the ability to quickly move your file shares to SharePoint 2010 and maintain your file structure. You can also reorganize your content manually and push to your new SharePoint layout. Or migrate iteratively, allowing you to clean up, sort, and transform your data on your own schedule.
Unique to FileLoader is the ability to create Microsoft Excel “control files” that represent your file shares, allowing administrators and users to work, disconnected from SharePoint, to clean up your file shares and apply metadata.
