Migrate for AODocs is a tool that allows you to migrate files and folders into your AODocs libraries.
Important: Migrate for AODocs is currently available for our service teams only. For EAP access, contact dev-migration@altirnao.com.
This article explains the simplest use case for Migrate for AODocs: import (move) the contents of a Google Drive folder to AODocs. There's no need to install Gateway. You can just select a folder to import, an AODocs library and a document class. You don't have to edit your import before running it (but you can if you want to!)
