Sharepoint as cloud storage for a system
Hi Im analizing the use of sharepoint as cloud storage for a system in development. The main use of this is for Word and PDF Files. Im wondering how should I use the licenses in this case. I pr...
gteibo1 Nope. If accessing the files via the UX or via an API, all users would require a license. You may want to look into Azure Storage for your implementation.
gteibo1 we are planning to do the exact same thing. Have you find any more answer to your question? I plan to have only one "system" user (with a licence) that accesses the Sharepoint Online via the API. Then, my 200 users won't need any licence.
BUT, in the case I'd want my user to access Online Sharepoint interface or sync documents on their local computer, I assume I will
- Create programmatically a MS account to allow them to sync the shared folder
- Use their MS account (assuming they already have a O365 account via their own organization)
What do you think of that?
