Is it possible to upgrade the media folder on its own from umbraco 7 to umbraco 10?
We are in the process of migrating from umbraco 7.15 to umbraco 10 - the database will not directly upgrade - theres just too many issues.so it needs rebuilt - from scratch is our only outcome.
so that give us a few headaches moving from archetype to blocklist etc..
The big issue is in moving content e.g. we feel we need to manually copy this but then linking up the media seems difficult due to volume - if anyone has any ideas on how we can avoid this step it would be great to know?
Now copy over the uSync Content 'data' folder from your V7 site to your V10 site
Login to V10 back office, in settings section of uSync there is a new section called 'Migrations', this will detect the presence of the uSync Content Edition V7 files, and give you the opportunity to migrate all the things!
This will give you a list of all the incompatible property editors (there are some community migrators for some common third party plugins)
Anyway, after it runs it will change all the uSync files on disk into their V10 formats, and allow you to import the content into your V10 site.
For simple sites 'it just works'
But thinking this might be a good jumping off point for your implementation if, it has successfully moved across the Media for you.
It's Beta, at the moment, so there are no guarantees, but it's worth a quick explore if it might get you a little bit further along the line.
I have given this a go over the last day or two and it worked, thanks a million!
I had to update the uSync that was already on the u7 site and install uSync Content. I had issues with the Export timing out but changed the config file and tried just exporting the Media section and that seemed to work better. It still said it was timing out but chugged away in the background and exported it all.
You don't seem to be able to just send data/Media to the new site for Migration though, it was looking for DataType folder, so we had to do another export to get those folders too, but just migrated and imported Media and it seems to have worked fine.

Hi Colin
This might be worth a quick investigation:
https://github.com/Jumoo/uSyncMigrations
If you install uSync Content Edition https://our.umbraco.com/packages/developer-tools/usynccontentedition/ (version 4.1.9.1 should work with your V7 site)
And do a full export - this might take some time (I often take a copy of production db and set this up locally).
Then this will create files on disk that contain and represent each content and media item, inside your Umbraco site.
Then on your V10 build (or just in a standalone project if you want to test the theory) install uSyncMigrations https://www.nuget.org/packages/uSync.Migrations/4.0.0-beta014
Now copy over the uSync Content 'data' folder from your V7 site to your V10 site
Login to V10 back office, in settings section of uSync there is a new section called 'Migrations', this will detect the presence of the uSync Content Edition V7 files, and give you the opportunity to migrate all the things!
