Coying the files from document library to local hard disk / how to copy/upload documents from local folder to Sharepoint document library


Document libraries are collections of files that you can share with team members on a Web based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. For example, you can create a library of common documents for a project, and team members can use their Web browsers to find the files, read them, and make comments. Users with Microsoft Office 2003 can check out and edit the files as if they resided on a local or network drive.

Please refer the following steps as mentioned below:

Copy / Move SharePoint Document Library files to local folder:

1. Open the sharepoint site that you are using/referring to

2. Go to the sharepoint document library in which all the files resides

3. In the right hand side of the document library, you can see 'ALL DOCUMENTS' View, Please click on that and select 'EXPLORER VIEW'

4. You will see the same set of files/folders which are present in standard view, now select the number of files/folders that you wants to move/copy by using basic windows operations.

Windows commands:

CTRL A: Select
CTRL C: COPY
CTRL V: PASTE
CTRL X:  CUT

5. Suppose if you had selected to copy(CTRL C) then go to the local drive/Desktop location where you wants to paste/move and paste it(CTRL V)-thats it..

6. Depending upon the size of the documents, it will take some time to complete the operation...

same procedure will be applied to copy/upload documents from local folder to SharePoint document library i.e. EXPLORER VIEW so that the activity will be completed in quick manner...
