shared network drive vs alfresco share best practice

[muthukimoses]

am using alfresco community 4.0b. i have a client who is using a shared network drive with more than 200 folders(with sub-folders) . i have installed alfresco share and my question is:

1. i want to migrate all the folders & content to appear as sites, in alfresco share. how do i do that without creating the sites one by one?
2. the shared drive is on a server and the client insists if possible it stays there due to storage reasons. how do i make all the 200 folders appear as sites in alfresco share?

am looking for a best practice on those who have done major deployments more so related to share 4.0b. Thank you.

Why do you need 200 sites rather than say 1 with 200 folders?

You can put your content store onto a "server".    Well you wouldn't put it anywhere else would you?

Think you need to thing about the questions you are asking.
