WebDav v Adobe Drive

Hi Adobe Community,

Rookie question: Can someone tell me if there would be an issue accessing AEM Assets via Adobe Drive to upload a large number of files or is it absolutely necessary to go through WebDav? Both show me the file directory through my finder...

Thanks!
Rachel

    Its not necessary to only use WebDav to upload assets to the DAM. In fact - you can write your own solution to do so.

    See this community article - it works well. It uses the AEM AssetManager API:

    So if you have 1000s of digital assets - you do not want to upload them manually. You can automate the process as talked about in this article.

    Ha! I had come across this months ago and completely forgot about it. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.

    Have a great day!

    Was just reviewing and realized this is only been tested on 5.5 and 5.6. We are currently on 6.0. 

    Do you know of any successful implementations using 6.0?

    Thanks!

    It should - i will test it on AEM 6(its a custom sling servlet that really makes it work). Also - we are starting to package up the code that our articles use into downloadable packages that can be downloaded from the article.

    For example - for the Sling Servet one - we have this package:

    See: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/custom-sling-servlets.html

    We will test this one on AEM 6 and package it up.

    YEs - on AEM 6 - it works like a charm. 

    I uploaded these Lake pics as a batch operation to /content/dam/travel -- as shown here:

    I will attach the Sling Servlet and the client to the article.

    You will soon notice that the code is attached to the article. It was just deployed.

    Also - what is nice about using AssetManager API is you get renditions of the Asset - as shown here:
