Alfresco share storage space

Question

I have 10 GB of files in another server. Now I need to upload the files to the alfresco share. Do I need to manually drag and drop these files to the alfresco share repository? Is there any other option like mapping these files so alfresco adds them automatically?

Answer 1

There are different options here:

1. Make use of Alfresco's Virtual FileSystem capabilities and import your documents via CIFS or FTP: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/fileserv-subsystem-intro.html

2. Use Alfresco's bulk import tool: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/Bulk-Import-Tool.html

3. Use any other Alfresco migrations tools like: Xenit move2alf or fme migration-center
