Bulk upload your OneDrive for Business files and folders to NetSuite
New ExtendSync users may desire to integrate files that already exist in their OneDrive for Business account with existing NetSuite records.
ExtendSync does not store files per se. Instead, ExtendSync uses a custom record in NetSuite to store data about the files including a link to the record in Microsoft OneDrive/Sharepoint.
In order to add the files to NetSuite Admins will need to add data to the custom record that is pre-installed as part of the CloudExtend Outlook bundle).
