I'm trying to migrate the media library from a development site to a production site but I don't know how.
I tried to copy the media folder from the dev site to the prod site. The files appear on the file browser but not on Umbraco.
As well as the media files to exist on the hard drive, Umbraco keeps a record of each media item in the database - it is this data that drives the Media section in the backend of Umbraco.
You need to either copy your database from dev to production, which of course would copy all other content/users/members from dev as well or you can use either
Umbraco Courier - Paid for package written by Umbraco themselves
uSync - Free package written by the lovely Kevin Jump
Both allow you to move content, media and any of the data from one Umbraco environment to another.
Both will need setting up on your Dev and Production environments and both will need you to learn how to use.
Thanks for your answer Jonathan.
I installed uSync but I absolutely don't understand how it works for exporting/importing medias.
It seems that this package is used for exporting/importing media types but not medias.
Migrate Media library from a server to another server
Hello,
I'm trying to migrate the media library from a development site to a production site but I don't know how. I tried to copy the media folder from the dev site to the prod site. The files appear on the file browser but not on Umbraco.
Does anyone have ideas?

Hi Laureline,
You will need to also install https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/usynccontentedition/
Which is the bit of uSync dedicated to Content and Media.
Cheers
