We are planning to migrate from a 2010 to a SharePoint 2013 server. In order to organise our libraries we use metadata such as search terms and document types instead of folders.
With a migration to 2013 comes the opportunity do drag and drop (several) documents on the library page, or use One Drive for Business to upload/sync documents.
Does anyone know if, and if so how, metadata can be added to (several) documents when uploading them on SharePoint using One Drive For Business or drag-and-drop?
Hello Kenneth,
Thank you for your quick reply. We are familiar with third party solutions, but liked the idea that OneDrive for business could make these superfluous.
When you say that Items can be defaulted to a particular term, Do you mean that when I save items in a library one term can be added as a default to all the documents in that particular library? Or is there a possibility to select a set of (managed)metadata that can be used during upload?
If not do you have any experience with a solution that does nothing more than connecting a local folder and the managed metadata set or termset of a site collection/ Server
You have several options. You can use third party tools to assist with this or you can have your files defaulted to a particular term. There are third party tools that will also allow you to make mass changes if needed.
