Discover how to use THRON Drive to import folders and upload content
This document guides you through the use of THRON Drive, the extension that transforms the way you populate the platform, allowing you to migrate entire file structures in just a few simple clicks or drags.
Prerequisites:
To proceed, you must first download and install the THRON Drive add-on provided by CI-Hub on your computer. To do so, follow this guide Getting Started with THRON Drive for Mac
Goal
The goal is to eliminate manual upload times. Thanks to THRON Drive, you can replicate your local file organization directly in the platform, maintaining the folder hierarchy and simplifying daily content management without using the web Dashboard.
Import your folder structure
Follow this quick sequence to migrate your content:
- Select the source: Locate the main folder on your computer that contains the files to be imported.
- Drag into THRON Drive: Drag&Drop the folder directly into the Drive interface.
- Verify the upload: Monitor the progress bar next to the file and folder names. The system will automatically create the corresponding folders in THRON.
- Confirm: Once completed, your assets will be available and ready to be classified or distributed.
⚠️ Work in batches, not all at once
When you have many folders to import, upload them in progressive groups rather than all at once. You will have more control over each phase of the transfer, you can verify the result before proceeding, and your computer will remain responsive throughout the operation.
Daily management: Edit and Sync
Once the initial population is complete, use the Drive to speed up your daily work:
- Direct Open: Double-click a file in the Drive to open it with your local software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop or Office).
- Automatic Save: Every time you press Save in your program, the Drive syncs the new version directly to THRON, updating the asset in real-time.
- Agile organization: Create new subfolders or move files via the file system interface; the changes will immediately reflect in the platform.
