BULK UPLOAD OF COLLABORATIVE DOCUMENTS TO AN ONLINE DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments describe bulk upload capabilities from a computing device to an online document management system utilizing a batch file. In one embodiment, a computing device identifies a local folder and a batch file in the local folder that defines a plurality of files to upload to the management system. The computing device parses the batch file to identify a local file in the local folder, and parses the batch file to identify a remote folder at the management system for storing a remote copy of the local file. The computing device parses the batch file to identify metadata assigned to the local file, transmits a first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) request to the management system to upload the local file to the remote folder, and transmits a second RPC request to the management system to assign the metadata to the remote copy of the local file.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor of a computing device that is configured to identify a local folder of the computing device, and to identify a batch file in the local folder that defines a plurality of files to upload from the local folder to an online document management system; the processor configured to parse the batch file to identify a local file in the local folder, to parse the batch file to identify a remote folder at the document management system for storing a remote copy of the local file, and to parse the batch file to identify metadata assigned to the local file; the processor configured to transmit a first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) request to the document management system to upload the local file to the remote folder, and to transmit a second RPC request to the document management system to assign the metadata to the remote copy of the local file.
