Perform advanced file export and import in M-Files
Automate complex file and metadata transfers across folders, systems, or vaults
— with encryption, filtering, and full control, all without writing a single script.
Complex file transfers simplified
Standard M-Files exports work well for basic needs. But what happens when a client wants only approved documents, renamed, encrypted, and sent to an SFTP server — automatically, every day?
Instead of writing and maintaining custom scripts, you can build advanced transfer workflows using configurable rules directly in M-Files Admin.
Whether you're integrating with external systems, syncing vaults, or processing incoming files from disk, Extension Kit Core lets you do it all faster, with less effort and greater flexibility.
Transfer files and metadata automatically with more control
With Extension Kit Core, you can define advanced import/export logic without custom scripting. Use configurable rules to move files and metadata between vaults, external systems, or local folders, all managed directly from M-Files Admin.
Move files in and out of M-Files using FileShare or SFTP — ideal for integrating with external systems, legacy storage, or remote locations.
Transfer files, metadata, or both, depending on the business case or system integration requirement.
Secure sensitive content during import with built-in encryption options, supporting compliance and data protection policies.
Automatically compress documents from M-Files into ZIP, 7z, or TAR formats, or extract files from ZIP, 7z, TAR, or RAR archives — whether stored in M-Files, file shares, or SFTP servers. Import extracted content as individual documents or as a single multi-file object.
Automatically send files from one M-Files vault to another — for example, from staging to production, or between departments.
Replace scripting with flexible, rule-based automation
Whether you're integrating with external systems, syncing vaults, or processing incoming files from disk, Extension Kit Core gives you full control over what gets moved, how, and when. All configuration is done inside M-Files Admin, making it easy for M-Files partners and consultants to build and adapt reliable solutions fast.
Use cases
A customer scans and saves invoices to a shared network folder, then uses Extension Kit Core to automatically import them into M-Files with matching metadata.
Automatically move documents to a separate archive vault once they reach a state like Expired, preserving metadata and file content, and with an M-Files link to the original document.
Automatically import purchase order files and metadata exported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV into M-Files.
