If you have gathered most or all of your documents offline in a folder structure, you can upload the entire structure to the Data Room in one action. This is the fastest way to set up your Data Room, instead of uploading each folder or file individually.
How to upload a complete folder structure
1. Log in to your Data Room and go to the Documents section.
2. Click Upload files and drag and drop the complete structure at once.
Mass Upload Tips:
To make sure your folder structure is uploaded correctly and displayed as intended in the Data Room, please keep the following points in mind:
-
Folder structure saved locally.
Make sure your folder structure is saved locally (Desktop or C:/ Drive) before the upload. The upload could present issues if you upload from a shared online document/file storage platform, for example, OneDrive or Dropbox. -
Remove numbering
The Data Room will generate unique index numbers for each folder and document that is uploaded. In case you have already numbered your files and folders, please leave the Remove numbering check box ticked. Visit Avoid double numbering to learn more about this feature. -
Order of your structure
If you do not have a numbering/index for your structure yet, be aware that your folders will uploaded and ordered alphabetically in the Data Room.
