sync from a local network folder
Hello everybody!
I have a computer in the company that only has access to local network drives. This computer runs 24/7 and updates several Excel files every day, which are then saved.
Now I would like to share these files with other users. However, these only have access to a sharepoint.
I also have a computer that has access to both the network drive and the sharepoint.
Is there now the possibility to somehow synchronize the network drive or the folder with a sharepoint?
- Oh your trying to go opposite sync though you were trying to get to sync files from the 24/7 computer not people getting access to the files.
Can the files being saved on the 24/7 computer not be saved to the network drive you would setup on the computer they had access to both?ChrisWebbTech Thank you so much!
The link is showing me an approach on how to add a Sharepoint-Side as a Network Drive to a computer.
But how can I add a folder from our local network drive (typical folder) on the 24/7 computer to that "New Network Drive", that is just on the admin computer?
- Technically you can but it’s not recommended. See this article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/administration/troubleshoot-mapped-network-drives#recommended-sync-instead-of-mapping-a-drive
ChrisWebbTech: Thanks for your reply!
So, on which account/ computer, should I make that approach?
I mean, the secondary account (without any sharepoint permisions) can't connect to the sharepoint website. Why should I add a Network Drive with a link to the Sharepoint-Website? The secondary account does not have a email...
Maybe I got somethin wrong. Could you please clearify?
