Traditional Folder to Views

Dear All

I would like to know if there is an easy way to transfer my content from traditional folders into Views. 

Thank you

  • You do not say how many files we are talking about in this case. One easy way to add metadata to a number of similar documents is to define a view and specify the properties and values in the filter. Then open the view in the desktop client and drag and drop documents from your desktop into the view. The document metadata card will open up and the properties enumerated in the view's filter are already populated with the values given in the filter. You can then make any needed changes for the individual file and click 'Create' or if you are content with the same metadata for all documents you can click 'Create All'
