Folder synchronisation for on-premises SharePoint document libraries

Hi Pieter Veenstra,

Not a pretty situation to be in. Even with any third party tools this solution will have its own set of sync issues. I would insist on either using OneDrive for Sync or web interface to access the files. Maybe you can create automatic doucment routing to move files to libraries that sync via OneDrive leaving a hyperlink in original libarary and or use this in combination with item level security to selectively sync documents.

For remote wipe or file expiration for documents synced via SP you can look into Azure Rights Management if your client does not have IRM deployed within their on prem AD. This way they can configure settings to require authentication before opening those files etc....

I did find one more client - through generic search on the internet and have no idea about its validity. It is open source so you can work with your Devs to improve on it etc...

Let me know if this helps.
