Hi Siddiqali,

There are two nice cool options if you want to move the folders and sub folders from the network drive to the Sharepoint Document library:

1. From Library:

Step 1: Open the target Document Library and You will find " Open with Explorer" option under "Connect & Export" Section in Ribbon.

Step 2: You can view your Sharepoint Document Library as Network drive. Drag and Drop the Folders from your network drive to Sharepoint Library opened as Network Drive.

2. From computer:

Step 1: Copy the url of the Sharepoint Document Library

Step 2: Go to "My Computer" and Click on "Map Network Drive"

Step 3: Choose your Drive from the drop down and Provide the Sharepoint Document Library Url in the Folder Input box. Click 'Finish'

Step 4: You can copy from your Source Drive to Target Drive(Sharepoint Document Lirbary mapped drive) to achieve the requirement.

Post if you have any queries.

Hi,

I understand you encountered the issue when use "Upload Multiple Documents" to Drag Files and Folders to upload window.

When you say "The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files", do you mean you have drag all files and folders to the window, while only 1 file is uploaded sucessfully? Or you cannot find all expected folders and files?

Please manually open "Windows Explorer" to locate files and drag files from "Windows Explorer", instead of using the "Open window" opened by "Browse for files instead" as below:

Regards,
