Hi Everyone,

I need to upload 480GB data including 50,000 folders and Files in alfresco, Which is the better way to approach.

Can anyone suggest me

Have you considered the Bulk Import Tool ?

• Using the Bulk Import tool | Alfresco Documentation (embedded)
• Bulk Import Tool | Alfresco Add-ons - Alfresco Customizations (community-driven add-on)

See also other related discussions & presentations, such as:

• How to upload a folder and subfolders within documents using Alfresco Rest API? - Stack Overflow 
• Alfresco DevCon 2018: Moving Gigantic Files In & Out of the Repository - YouTube (slides)
• Alfresco DevCon 2018: Apache ManifoldCF Output Connectors - YouTube (slides)

Otherwise, you could also consider using FTP &/or WebDAV ?

Regards,

Jan

I agree that the Bulk Import Tool Jan is pointing you to is most likely the way to go.

With so many folders, you need to think carefully about the folder structure and how/if your users will be using Share to browse that content. If so, you may see problems for folders with more than 1000 direct children, depending on how you've configured the server.
