How to Upload Documents in OpenKM

To begin, open the OpenKM interface in your browser. Then, select the destination folder where you want to place your files. Next, drag one or more documents into the upload area. As a result, the system immediately uploads the selected files into the repository.

This feature works well for uploading common document types like PDFs, spreadsheets, or scanned images.

Upload Entire Folders and Subfolders

Now let’s upload a full folder. Choose a folder from your computer that contains both documents and internal folders. Then, drag the entire folder into the upload panel in your browser.

Once dropped, the upload will start automatically. In addition, OpenKM will preserve the internal folder hierarchy inside the repository.

Verifying Folder Uploads in OpenKM

After the upload is complete, refresh your OpenKM folder view. You should now see the uploaded folder listed, including its subfolders and documents. For example, if “Folder A” contained three files, you will find all three files in “Folder A” within the repository.

Similarly, if there was a nested folder like “Folder B,” it will retain its content and position in the hierarchy. Therefore, there’s no need to reorganize files after uploading.

Benefits of Uploading Folders and Documents in OpenKM

The ability to upload folders and documents in OpenKM directly from the browser simplifies large transfers. For example, teams can upload hundreds of files in minutes, while keeping their structure intact.

This is ideal when migrating from a shared drive, archiving external content, or consolidating multi-level folders from a legacy system.

With just a few clicks, you can upload folders and documents in OpenKM efficiently using only your browser. This drag-and-drop approach not only saves time but also maintains file organization and enhances overall user experience.
