mass import of documents into confluence cloud

Question

Hi,

I'm looking to migrate from multiple document libraries to confluence cloud.

For example I know I can import documents one at a time, but assume there is a tool that enables me to mass import based on folders or something?

All i've found has been confluence server specific, not cloud.

Unfortunately I am not aware of any automated way to do this for cloud...

If you have some experience scripting you could inspect the network requests of the 'Import Word Document' actions and script the export – however this is not ideal.

Another workaround – if you found solutions for Confluence server – is to setup an evaluation installation of the latest Confluence server version, install the corresponding apps and import everything into a single space. Afterwards you can create an XML space export which can be imported into Cloud.

Sorry not being a real help here,

Best,
Tobias

Hey Tobias,

Thanks for the reply!

I'd like to import a bunch of Word files which would then be converted into Confluence pages.

We're moving from document library in Sharepoint to Confluence.

Hi James,

When talking about migrating multiple document libraries

* are you talking about a whole bunch of Microsoft Word files which should be converted into regular Confluence pages
* or about documents which should be attached to certain pages/spaces to get indexed and searchable?

Can you explain your use case by an example?
