Module Description
Media Library Importer A module to import media files from public directory into media library.
There are a lot of tutorials on how to import file entities into media galleries using migration tools. But they are neither practical nor easy. This simple module imports your previously uploaded images into media library.
This module can also import unmanaged files. If you simply upload a folder containing images (and subfolders containing other image files) all the image files in the uploaded folders will be converted to media entities.
NEW: Now non-image files (pdf,docx,xlsx,pptx amd mp4 files) can also be imported.
Instructions
Use composer to install module or unpack in the modules folder (currently in the root of your Drupal 8 installation) and enable in `/admin/modules`.
Then, visit `/admin/config/media/media-library-importer` to configure module. Finally, visit `/admin/config/media/media-library-importer/import` for the actual import operation.
Attention
You can run import as many times as you like. Once created, media entities will not be duplicated.
