The Library Switcher lets you switch the storage platform of your AODocs libraries from Google Drive to Google Cloud Storage or Azure Blob storage.

Manage errors

If any attachments can't be converted to the new storage platform, the switch process continues and a list of the documents that failed is provided at the end of the process, along with their error messages. After correcting the documents concerned, you can rerun the switch process on the files that failed. 

Errors can occur at any stage in the switch process, which cause the switch process to pause. You can either retry the library switch or perform a rollback. 

Important: We strongly recommend against performing a rollback without the help from AODocs support. Contact the AODocs Support team by email at support@aodocs.com or open a ticket.

This is what happens during a rollback:

• If the upload of attachments has already begun, all attachments on the new storage platform are removed from their AODocs documents and Google Drive attachments are restored. The Google Cloud Storage or Azure Blob storage attachments remain in the bucket or container. 
• When the rollback is complete, the library is available to users and you can rerun a switch later. 

The following can't be reversed:

• conversion of a Team Folder or Secured Folder to a Document Management library
• emails to documents configurations
