MetaVis File Manager for SharePoint is a bi-directional migration tool that allows users to migrate content, folder structures, and metadata between file systems and any SharePoint environment, including Office 365.
Our agentless solution maintains all your valuable metadata without the need to install any server-side components. With File Manager, users can easily control how file share content is moved into SharePoint or how content is downloaded / off boarded from SharePoint to a file share – no matter how complex the environment. As a result, File Manager makes it easy to archive SharePoint content and metadata for use in other systems.
