Load thousands of documents into SharePoint
at once

Bulk Loader for SharePoint

Now you can load thousands of documents into SharePoint®at once. Included is the ability to load document owner and creation date attributes. Metadata files can be used to specify attributes or basic document system attributes such as owner, creator, location, and version information.

Load Users and Groups using simple .CSV files. This new user and group loading feature allows you to assign new users and groups to a document library as part of the loading process.

Easy But Powerful Metadata Specification. Metadata is defined in simple .CSV (comma separated file) format files. This can be as easy as creating an Excel spreadsheet and saving as a .CSV file. CSV is also one of the most frequently used file formats and is supported by many applications and utilities.

A great feature of the Bulk Loader is the ability to run it constantly in the background or on a specific schedule. Through the use of a special Administration page, the application can be set to monitor any number of different "drop-off" directories for incoming documents. These documents are then processed and loaded into your system automatically. It is great for loading documents from the desktop (or central file servers) or from other applications that do not have API capabilities.
