You can use the Open with Explorer function to open the document library in Windows Explorer, where you can select all the files you want and simply copy them to your destination. Note that this function only works in Internet Explorer, not in Edge or any other browser. There are ways to make it kind of work in modern browsers, but that requires custom code. You can, however, save the location of the document library to the Quick access list to make it easier to find.
Another option seems to be the SharePoint Bulk File Download web part, but I believe this is a paid tool that must be purchased after the trial.
I use Open with Explorer all the time, but I have never tried the mentioned web part.

I have a sharepoint site that I'd like to migrate to a new tenant. I read that I'll have to use third party tools like Metalogix to do it properly. Are there any alternative ways with which I can achieve this, preferably without a third-party tool? I just have two sites with few contents and couple of apps. I found sharepoint migration tool: http://spmtreleasescus.blob.core.windows.net/install/default.htm But I'm not sure if it's used for tenant-to-tenant migration.
With two sites and perhaps a few document libraries, perhaps a manual migration would work: Manually create the destination sites/libraries, and for a given library, sync it. Since it's a new library, there is no content to sync, but it will create the folders, etc., on your local machine via onedrive. Open that location with windows explorer. Then, go to the source library with Internet explorer, and use the open with windows explorer command. (or, sync it also). Then, simple copy the files from the source to the target library in the windows explorer onedrive view. OneDrive will take care of syncing the files up to the library.
If have a bunch of libraries, or if you need to preserve things like file created dates, then the 3rd party tools are helpful. Another popular one is ShareGate.
The third party tools can often also copy metadata, versions and Content Types.
Some of these tools have free, for limited amounts of data, trial versions.
I want to create an extension that prevents Office documents download and instead opens them in Office Online. Do browsers (preferably Chrome and Edge) have such API and what code do I need to write to implement my idea?
If we talk about Edge then we cannot stop the file from getting download.
If you have the direct link of file then you can directly open it using Office Online.
You can try to store your Office files on OneDrive. Then you can open it via Office Online.
There is an extension available which supports both Chrome and Edge for the same purpose.
If you store the file in OneDrive then it can open the documents in Office online.
But, It cannot stop the Office files from getting download.
Quick access to your Office files in the browser
I did not get any code example to develop the extension that can prevent the user from downloading the Office file and open it in Office Online.
For chrome (although Edge is supposed to support chrome APIs but I've not tested) please check a potential solution at https://browserextensionresources.blogspot.com/2018/09/intercepting-file-download-in-chrome.html
Is it possible to embed google excel in my website to edit document stored locally?
My manager asked me if it is possible to integrate the Microsoft office webapp in my own website.
Clients have excel files stored on our website, we want to know if it is possible for them to open the file with a web excel page, edit the file and save the modifications. For now, they use SharePoint so it is easy for them but we intend to use an other platform.
Our client can have all the license we need.
I searched but I didn't find any solution.
I know you should be able to do this with ASP and the .Net Framework. SharePoint uses ASP pages, so you may try to do something simpler.
If you go over the Internet you'll see several solutions because people do this too.
e.g. a thing you can do is to use Open XML API to do this, and it is like reading / modifying a flat file on the server. A restriction is it has to be .xlsx / 2007 format onward.
We have a requirement to store documents in SharePoint Online as people copy files to a shared network directly.
Is there a way of automating this? I was thinking of a windows service which will poll the directories, find any changes like new subdirectories or new files, then upload them to a SharePoint Online document library.
You don't have to poll if you use a FileSystemWatcher inside your Windows service for real-time notifications.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher.aspx
However, if your requirement is 100% accuracy, you will need to build in some sort of tracking/checksum mechanism to make sure that every document was 1) detected and 2) successfully moved to SharePoint.
You may want to have your service check the delta every time it starts up, and then subsequently only respond to FileSystemWatcher events.
EDIT: Per Tony's question below, here are some additional thoughts on getting files to SharePoint.
First, try a simple test.
1) Copy the URL of a document library within the BPOS SharePoint site. Make sure you're on a machine that has the Office Online sign in app on it.
2) Open Notepad. Type some random text.
3) Click on File -> Save As.
4) Paste the URL.
5) Attempt to save the file.
This works great on "regular" SharePoint (done it many times). If this works with BPOS, it opens up several options.
File System Replication to a SharePoint Online or Office 365 document library is planned to be released with the "Cloud Connector for Office 365". With the current version database content is supported only, but bi-directional with V2.0
OK I am new to working with SHarePoint Services and have an issue that I am trying to overcome. Where I work, I have implemented a Crystal reports Scheduler that outputs the reports to a shared folder. What I am trying to accomplish now is finding a way that I can point the output of the scheduler to the document library. I was hoping that I could find it like any other shared folder.
On your box hosting sharepoint, turn on the WebClient Service.
Goto the library you wish to upload to, drop down on actions-> open in windows explorer
The path you see can be converted to a UNC path, where you can use it like any other shared folder.
To convert, it should look like \\servername\Shared Documents
This unc can be mapped as a shared folder like any other physical networked folders.
Happy Uploading!
If you want to upload the file in your code (not manually) without mounting a WebDAV share, you can also HTTP-PUT it to the desired URL, for example http://myserver/sites/mysite/mysubsite/mylist/myfolder/foo.doc
Try the code in this question: Uploading files to Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) document library using HTTP PUT
With the tip in this answer: Uploading files to Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) document library using HTTP PUT.
