\u00a0 Drag and Drop<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
SharePoint 2013 supports drag-and-drop into SharePoint. Some
\nlimitations to consider<\/p>\n
- \n
- Only 100 documents at a time<\/li>\n
- Filenames can only contain valid characters<\/li>\n
- Unless default metadata is configured, this approach does not support tagging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u00a0 Explorer Mode<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThis is also known as WebDav. In the ribbon under the \u201cLibrary\u201d tab, there should be an \u201cOpen with Explorer\u201d option. This supports folders and many documents. Limitations include poor handling for errors on upload.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0 Scripting<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nUsing PowerShell, file migration can be scripted. I\u2019ve created scripts that:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Consolidate multiple versions into a single document with versions<\/li>\n
- Preserving of authorship and timestamp<\/li>\n
- Detailed output looking as a CSV<\/li>\n
- Delta migration of only files meeting specific date or other criteria<\/li>\n
- Using custom business logic to map to Sites, libraries, content types, folders, and document sets<\/li>\n
- Fixing of filenames to avoid illegal filename errors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
