Add files directly via share

Hello,

I need to migrate about 2TB of data into NX.
Is it possible to just copy all the files into the data folder and have NC pick them up?

Please advise & thank you!

Yes
Check the documentation for executing the maintenance
occ file:scan --all

Just a reply for posterity - don’t forget to correct the linux permissions for files copied directly into the data folder

Yes. I would recommend just writing a bash script that does the occ rescan and sets the file permissions for the data directory (or at least the directory of the individual user being scanned) and then run the script in a cron job.
