I have a very large number of PDF files as links on my Office Live website. I signed up for Office Live when Microsoft offered Office Live free for life and uploaded files laboriously over several years. Then Microsoft went back on its promise and started charging for Office Live.

Because I had a number of files accessed by my undergraduate, graduate and PhD students, I kept paying Microsoft. In fact they just re-billed my credit card. But they sent me an email saying that Office Live will be shut down forever on April 30 and I should migrate all files elsewhere.

How can I continue to share all these files with others without downloading every single file onto my desktop and then sharing it? Is there a short cut to this very laborious procedure? I don't have any secretarial assistance and there are thousands of PDF files and I have less than 20 days available to me - and I will be flying to several countries on work.

I'm not very familiar with Office Live, but do they provide you with a way to mass export all of your files? Like a mass downloader? – Dez Apr 12 '12 at 2:24
It seems you have to migrate to Office 365. See this answer on the Office Live forums. – Alex Apr 12 '12 at 21:25
Office 365 does not solve the problem because he or she will have to manually upload all files to the Office 365 site. So the poster is better off getting away from Microsoft altogether and finding something else. – user18988 Apr 12 '12 at 23:52
