Upload Files using Explorer with Metadata

Question

Most of our users tend to just upload files to Document Library using the explorer. This leads to a lot of files not having the necessary Metadata and the Document Library not being very sufficient.

We use SharePoint Online

Is there a way for the user to get prompt to add Metadata when using the Explorer to upload files.

Answer 1

It’s not support to edit document properties when upload file via file explorer.

As a workaround, I recommend you using “Quick Edit” to bulk edit document metadata in SharePoint Online classic view.
