There are four methods* for exporting documents out of NetDocuments:

• Method 1:  ndWeb Export Tool
• Method 2:  ndSync
• Method 3: ndMirror
• Method 4: Hire Optiable to Export your Document

*Each user also has the option to download documents. This will export the documents from NetDocuments, but not preserve any folder or filter format.

This article will discuss Method 1: The ndWeb Export Tool

The ndWeb Export Tool replaced the old Mass Export Tool.

From NetDocuments:  https://support.netdocuments.com/s/article/ndWeb-Export

Pros:

• It’s easy to use.
• It exports versions.
• You don’t have to hire a consultant
• It will append the doc ID to the name so files won’t be overwritten.
• It creates a metadata file.
• You don’t need to install any software.

Cons

• It doesn’t work well with large matters.
• It only allows you to run it for one matter at a time.
• You may encounter file path length issues.*
• Deleted Items will not be exported.
• Files over 1.8 GB in size must be exported manually.
• It cannot create a zip file over 1.6 GB, so you will need to use multiple Zip Files.
