Does anyone use Confluence macros or automated technique to move existing folders and files in (bulk) from a disk drive?

Hi @Bernice_Narvaez 

Please refer to existing questions like:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-Re-Bulk-uploading-pages-from-database/qaq-p/1971006/comment-id/236184#M236184 - t can give you the idea and answer of the ways to move data to Confluence.

The common ways to create content in Confluence from files are:

1.  Using REST API  
2. Existing libs like https://github.com/gonchik/confluence-python-cli
3. Confluence CLI 
4. WebDAV 

In your case, if the files are *.HTML, it can be easier to use WebDAV and just relocate them in Confluence file system (on the server), but there are peculiarities of the HTML format to clean it, and so on.

Using REST API and some programming language you can take data from files and replicate it in page bodies with your code.

Anyway, it depends on the type of files/folders and the way you need it in Confluence - usually, it is a complex task.
